SEEKING FREELANCER: Koding.com https://koding.com

- Devops / Developer minded SysAdmin: this is a very important role, PUPPET, Chef, AWS, Linux, LXC, OpenVZ. Xen, VMWare, you should just have this immense desire to automate and simplify everything, and be a product person, plan, implement and ship - not a maintainer that lives in their cave until things crash, and apply one off server tweaks.

- Frontend Developer: HTML, CSS, Coffeescript - Familiarity with Node/Ruby/Mongo/Mysql, cool github projects is a plus, have to have your own website when we click your link, it should make us want to hire you.

- Backend Developer: Go, Node,Python,Ruby,Coffeescript, MongoDB, RabbitMQ are the things we use. More you know these, the better. If you miss some, don't worry, if you have a strong OOP background, and designing/working on large scale apps is your thing, just drop me an email.

We're open for remote, part time or full time in San Francisco. Only thing we don't want is that you have multiple clients. You can be a student or very experienced individual, and work for Koding 20 hours a week, or work a day or two. You just shouldn't be managing multiple clients and not show up for Koding because your other client had emergency. We want Koding to be the only thing you think about, when you're not working, when you go to sleep, when you wake up.

At this stage we're more willing to have VERY experienced developers, and we're very generous with rates. Our current freelancers have stocks in the company, we don't favor in house developers (alright, maybe just a little :)). Some of our freelancers make more than those are in the office. Your location has no significance to us, just your work. If your work is awesome, your compensation is equally awesome.

This summarizes the type of person we want, (my contact information is here) http://blog.koding.com/2012/06/we-want-to-date-not-hire/

I also want you to try Koding, for that please drop me a note, I will send you an invite.

And this is what we expect from our freelancers, http://blog.koding.com/2012/08/freelance-developers-you-are-...

Hope to meet soon!

we will need little more feedback than that :) it's "soooooo stupid" that i edit my comment on hackernews, and it doesn't take me back to the story.

but that's not the point...

Basically yes. After 10th hire, nobody can hire with a blog post like this, for reasons you've stated, plus, there won't be room for co-founder minded, entrepreneurial folks anymore.

ok - fair enough :) one of our teammates shares your opinion exactly as you worded it :)

@GulA Thanks for your wisdom (let's reuse this typical i-know-it-all-and-you-dont approach). We're not scaling, if you read the post carefully, you will see that we're looking for the 5th member, and the word 'best' is used correctly. I won't provide additional reading for you, because I don't think you will read them.
