Hi everyone,

Hopefully all of you are enjoying the blog although I’ve only been writing about once a week now. We recently passed 7,000 subscribers, which is fantastic. The blog continues to grow and seems to be a useful reference for people.

Anyway, as some of you know, I’ve been working on some of my own startup projects – still quite early – and am now looking for recommendations for smart engineers.

In particular, I’m looking for advice on:

  • Engineers that are interested in consumer internet startups
  • Have experience with Ruby (or PHP/Python) including frameworks like Rails or Django
  • Can work with me on customer-centered product development
  • Have a BS/MS in Computer Science or equivalent experience

If you have recommendations for interesting people for me to talk to, please shoot me a note at voodoo [at] gmail.

I’d hugely appreciate it!

Thanks,
Andrew

  • Hey Andrew,

    Just recently found your blog and have become an avid reader. I too am in need of some developers for my startup! We've taken the strategy of searching for 4th year undergrads with mediocre grades but who are genius programmers. We're a startup, so we can't really pay them much, but what we do offer is startup experience and a fun team!

    We're currently hiring some programmers right now, and if we have some people that I can refer your way I definitely will!

    Congrats on reaching 7K!
