Ouch. You might lose a lot of candidates with this stipulation.
He'd be a perfect candidate for the job if he weren't starting a company with me :) But I bet there are others out there like him.
Happy to say that I'm one of those — the day I discovered I could do this, I felt like I leveled up.
Combine clean CSS with SCSS (http://sass-lang.com/) for mixin awesomeness and also PIE.css (http://css3pie.com/) for CSS3 on IE. Thats pretty much the winning combo IMO.
Will they hire someone remotely, especially someone with heavy ruby/rails exp?
I envy my friends who can stand to lose IE6 traffic, but my company can't and besides -- it's always a point of pride when the site looks almost perfect the first time you check it in a legacy browser like IE6.
That being said, I hope they don't mean 5.5. :)
But on the bright side, someone who has the patience to do IE compatibility is someone we'd probably love to work with!
A whois says Westchester CA (which is probably just a whoisguard location), and a "site:indinero.com Westchester" search doesn't turn up any results. What gives?
Edit: I found a blog post that says they are "next to downtown Mountain View in California" http://blog.indinero.com/?p=129
I'll try to make this more bold in the job description - thanks someone_here !
I think that when YC funded companies look for applicants with comments off they're signaling that they are afraid they'll be drawn in to a discussion of their product rather than of the job at hand, but that might just throw away more good stuff than bad stuff.
(I'd apply, but I'm both based in NY and happily employed at another startup)
I started to go on a rant about what job descriptions are generally missing, but then I clicked through the day in the life link and that basically answered my questions. Incorporate some of that onto the job page.
As to what I liked: My personal primary factors in fit are the amount of autonomy (including hours), process overhead, and the fact that I care about user experience, tools, and code quality but not about making money. Put differently, I expect someone else to be worried about the what and when ($) but I generally want as much control over the how as I can get. That's not to say I want to be a cowboy coder, but autonomy is what makes coding a craft instead of just labor.
Edit: I'm not really looking to apply, just happened to hit HN in between things and got annoyed.
edit: Link to checkers on github. Doing it fast. Will clean up and make jQuery plugin later. http://github.com/bradherman/inDinero----Checkers
Would you mind clarifying a bit more? Thanks!
