you're

If you're thinking of using the runoff from local rains, consider that California is in a drought.

If you're frequently passing by a university library, see if they have a shelf where they sell old books.

Well..you can't hire more developers if you're not getting customers, keeping them happy or paying your suppliers.

It works if you're running a coal mine; not so much for a software shop.

So you're saying its impossible to have decentralized software that non-tech-savvy people can use?

If you're into consumer hardware, thinking outside the box, and a fun, collaborative atmosphere, Podo Labs is for you!

Follow the ladder high enough, and at some point you're likely to encounter someone with the old mentality (or an egomaniac, or an asshole).

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding you, but what you're saying doesn't match up with my experience.

> If you're a programmer, you should be able to code anything, anywhere, with a bit of effort.

If you're running a plantation or a coal mine, the work is physically difficult and the rewards are minimal, so you have to be either (a) generous or (b) brutal in order to get people to work.

You can go to www.hipmunk.com/jobs if you're interested!

Well, one thing you have to ask yourself is, if the majority of people you're getting are crap, why don't the people you want apply at your company?

You're basically saying "we're strong so we'll do what we want, thanks, and you'd do the same".

"if you can show a active github profile with clean code that shows you are pro-active or a expert in stack or domain, why would "they" not atleast contact you back." Because you're older, or a minority, or female...

You're assuming that everyone is perfectly rational, and only looks at code, when in reality this is far from the case.

You're passionate about open source, and you are serious about writing high-quality code.

You're an experienced developer who thrives on pushing software systems to their limits.
