Regardless of whether you or tptacek has the better method for hiring coders, I have much more problem with dvt's tone in his post than yours in the article. Hope this kind of response won't discourage you from posting more, as I've had a lot of value from your writing in the past and found this article interesting as well.
I second this. I've read a lot of your writings and have even watched your episode of 'Checking in with Erik Meijer', both of are very informative. Thanks for writing this article.
I hope you are being coy, because dvt's post was obnoxious and ill-founded.
