jeckel··on The real reason you can't hire developers....
Easy, have them work on something small as a contractor.
jeckel··on The real reason you can't hire developers....
I'm telecommuting for a very large corporation as a senior developer for over 6 months now. I've had great success in driving the team into a direction which I feel is best for specific projects and the team as a whole.

I think the telecommute aspect is really a non-issue for some people. Companies would be wise to consider it for the low overhead.

jeckel··on Entreporn, The Fallacy That Wastes Your Life
If you go to your companies website, Bank Simple, it has an article entitle: "BankSimple Wants to Shake Up Banking with Cutting Edge UI Design".

It seems Freckle isn't the only one who wants to use "this month's CSS trends".

jeckel··on Feedback on a Business Idea
I did enter this into Mechanical Turk as well. Was hoping to also get feedback from the users here since most seem more experienced in this area.
jeckel··on To all who Think Themselves a Programmer
I guess they want to hire a programmer who would refuse to find the simplest solution to the problem but rather obfuscate it, making maintainability a nightmare.

Ooh, that's probably another one of those Ruby problems where Rails isn't scaling correctly....
jeckel··on Burning out on Capistrano (Jamis Buck)
People who receive free software really have no right to complain about it, if it isn't working as they want it to. They didn't pay dime for it. Either donate money to the project or scratch your own itch. It's not the job the the original developer to spend all of his/her time fixing other people's problems.
