New here?
Dear readers, I need your help!
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!
