So you work in US or Uzbekistan ? If in US, how did you arrange for US visa ?

I work in the States. Daniel (our CEO) made all arrangements, I applied for a visa in Tashkent and got it.

Awesome. Do u have an H1b visa? Good on Daniel for sorting it out. Doesn't it get expensive for a startup to sponsor H1b visa btw?

Russia, anyone?

As far as I remember, Qik (http://www.qik.com) was hiring Ruby gurus recently, and Parallels (http://www.parallels.com) constantly looks for Java/C++ engineers. Both are in Moscow.

Privet. :)

Directi are doing some very interesting things. They're not VC funded, but that's because they've been profitable from day one. They've also started recruiting from outside India.

Directi's recruitment process is the crappiest, they need people to use codechef to start the process which is a biggest buggy system and no admin replies on the forum.

The company I work for will be needing a PHP developer (that is also proficient in HTML/CSS) to cover maternity leave from approx mid-Oct for 9+ months. We're happy to take on school-leavers upwards, providing your code is up to scratch.

If you're local to Telford, Shrops (UK) get in touch: jem@jemjabella.co.uk (include your HN username)

Humble note from international talent: please specify whether you could sponsor any work visa in the country where you are hiring.

" please specify whether you could sponsor any work visa in the country where you are hiring."

and whether international tele commuting would be a valid option. (I'd guess not, most of the time, but it doesn't hurt to ask)

I up-voted you and encourage others to do the same. Thank you and plinkplonk for a very interesting and thought provoking discussion. I did not see your original posting, but your edited version is excellent as well as the follow up discussion with plinkplonk.

I especially appreciate both of you pulling back from the brink of a /. "discussion" by re-engaging with facts and rational discussion.

If anyone has a position for a remote teleworker please get in touch (I'm English but based in Taiwan.)

My background is Microsoft development - mostly websites - so I also know HTML CSS and Javascript- as well as the back end - SQL and database design.

I want desperately to work with Linux and open source now though, I have some exposure to Ruby and Rails, I taught myself Scheme and I'm working my way through Real World Haskell. I'm always looking to learn something new.

I'm finding it difficult to find clients now.
