Hi there, check Codersumo (http://codersumo.com).

We're still in alpha stage, but the idea is to solve challenges and get feedback and reviews from more experienced programmers.

It would be possible to add Perl and Clojure to the list of supported languages, would that be interesting?

thanks for reporting that

Oh! ok, thanks! need to have a look at it.

yep, you got it right now. looks nice

Looks great, you could add an animated logo, on mouse hover... something that will make it spin ;) here's the CSS

And that's ok. But you'd like to test:

1) how many people would sign up without a facebook account? 2) how many of them could you "convert" and sign-in again with facebook? (saying something like "ok..now, how about you use your facebook account to [blabla] with your friends on facebook?

I'd say people are more willing to give it a try and see how it looks without passing facebook credentials first... That's just my hint..

you should give the possibility to sign up without a facebook account.

Cool idea. I'd like to see it with a darker tooltip on hover. The transparent effect is a bit...too transparent :)

If you don't like twitter bootstrap (for your css), you could use this: http://www.getskeleton.com/ It's light enough, and provide a good starting point.

Add colors, borders, and shadows later. Focus first on layout. Come close to screen, and look for details. Go a bit far away from your monitor, and look again the entire design. Sometime it helps to get a better overall view.

You can check http://roundabout.io too for London jobs. A good UK job board, not yet mentioned is http://www.coderstack.co.uk/

Right, he could just say no, it's true.

Surely what he could learn from a conference will also be very useful to the startup too.

It'd be interesting to know if those profitable job boards are profitable because of recruiters paying and re-posting the same jobs (changing few words here and there) in order to gather CVs.

I was looking for some statistics about the ratio of a real (as posted by a company) vs recruiter job post on those job boards, but I couldn't find anything.

What could a job listing do or implement other than listing the job description?

I run a similar website to hackerjobs.co.uk (http://roundabout.io/about) and I'm starting to realise that's not the way forward.

There are few things you can do:

* don't leave your CV (especially in word format) in any job board

* send your CV directly to the companies/startups via email

* buy a twilio number, setup call forwarding on that and use it as a disposable phone number in your CV. After you've got a job, you can delete the number.

Yes. There are few systems infrastructure openings (see pusher for example). Those posts are welcome. I've only banned PR/Marketing/SEO from the list (and dozen of recruiters).

That's 'June 2012':

and I don't see any London startups on the list.

London - UK

Disclaimer: I'm a developer myself, I made this list out of necessity while looking for a job in London last month.

Last "Who is Hiring June 2012" didn't have any jobs in London!

http://roundabout.io

The list is far from comprehensive, but if you're a developer in London you should definitely have a look at it, there are more than 30 startups listed, and not all of them post in this thread.
