I, for one, immediately checked for Treehouse's open positions. In a world where retention and recruiting are huge challenges for tech, a strong work-life balance policy is very powerful.

Too bad they don't have a need for a front-end engineer right now. I would be all over that.

Keep up the good work, guys!

+1. I'll keep checking that jobs page as well.

In my fifteen years of tech work, the only occasions I had to work overtime were those when somebody screwed up. It was often because somebody didn't say no to requests for: CYA meetings; last-minute scope changes; mandatory "butts in chairs" policies.

Thirty-two hours a week doesn't give lousy management enough time to take root. Like kvcrawford, I can't overestimate how appealing that is when it comes time to recruit.

We don't hire strictly front-end developers, only designers who can write markup, and developers.
