If going for speed, would something like Go make more sense? Bonus: Cross platform with no dependency helljazz.

Sell vertical.

Sell aphrodisiacs, contraceptives, toys and real-dolls. Weddings. Honeymoons. Get a finger in finance with mortgage and insurance commissions, kids' savings funds, retirement planning.

There's a positive association between 1337code interview hurdles and lack of management competence.

Someone without the confidence to hire someone without going through a bunch of hoops to justify themselves is even less likely to admit humility and say they were wrong. Which makes places that employ these interview techniques terribly passive aggressive places to be.

It would be great to have a demo game to get a feel of.. the feel, without needing to enter an email address.

The back button is broken. Clicking through from here, I was unable to return to HN. Firefox 128 ESR on Linux.
