Actually I would bet hiring on skill rather than personality, relationship with an employee and culture fit are responsible for more company kills than vice versa.

this...

You will end up throwing out much of the initial code, but use what you know in order to get in front of customers and collect feedback.

Your customers don't care what language/framework is being used, they only care that you are easing a pain point for them.

How long does it take to receive the pdf? It has been almost an hour and am still waiting on my email with pdf attached.

I was about to make a call to Jesus, and see how this could happen.

Surprised this isn't a more popular response.

Vagrant/Puppet for local development

* this way every developer has an identical dev environment.

Git for code versioning - Github/Bitbucket for repo hosting

* each feature has a branch, then we use pull requests for review/merging into staging branch.

* when features are LGTM and tested, pull request to merge into production branch

Capistrano with multi-staging to deploy to staging and production servers

* every developer can deploy to staging

* only a few developers can deploy to production.

Exactly, I am more efficient working remotely and not dealing with the BS, so I am not sure what it would take, but the result would not be worth it for the company hiring me.

Why do so many operate under the assumption that remote workers are a handicap?

I have a separate dedicated office building, and don't work from my bedroom, living room, etc.

Have never used it nor considered it.

The driving force behind most of the new languages I have adopted; is a friend with experience who plants seeds, then can offer support and answer simple questions as I am learning. I have no friends that I know of who use Erlang.

I would have them split the expenses. Seems like the fair thing to do.

I went through the interview process with a major startup and was basically told the same thing. "You will get bored as a software engineer for our company. Looking at your past history, you are probably not a good fit for this position. We like you and are more than happy to support you in any way we can with your next endeavor."

Leaves you with mixed emotions.

so wait, your domain expired, you ignore the emails sent, then after the redemption period is over, GoDaddy legally sells it. Somehow they are the bad guy. I know that is an oversimplification, but do their terms and conditions say they guarantee to change the nameservers during redemption? That way if you happen to ignore the other methods of communication, you will notice that?

Wow, I didn't even notice that I got that wrong.
