META QUESTION, How hard has it been for you to hire? Curious developer seeks more anecdotes to complement pet theories regarding current labour market.

Remember how Paul Graham wrote those articles about how good programmers should start companies because companies don't pay the absolute best programmers the order of magnitude more money that they may be worth?

Well, it seems the marketplace has updated somewhat more towards paying programmers what they are worth.

MIT Startup Seeks Python Developers

TL;DR Early VC-backed startup, smart people. Python and web apps. Consumer facing, seriously big market opportunity. http://jobsco.re/N0ADHv

The idea for Jana got its start at the MIT Media Lab. Now we’ve broken out and are building a company to change the way business is done in the developing world. Jana gives away free mobile airtime in exchange for market research or advertising. To the users of prepaid phones in the developing world, this free airtime is as good as cash. Our goal is to give a 5% raise to 1 billion people by redirecting wasted research and marketing dollars.

Currently we are using Python, Flask, CouchDB and Redis. We host everything with Ubuntu on EC2 and other Amazon Web Services. Git makes our codebase easy to work with. Fabric makes deploying fast and consistent. We hire bright developers who can get shit done.

Everybody is motivated by money at some level. So we make sure to pay better than other startups and give an equity stake to make sure that the company's success is your success.

We do our own hiring, talk with a developer, not a recruiter: http://jobsco.re/N0ADHv

Brooklyn, NY Full Time Custora (YC W11) is a customer analytics tool that helps retailers earn more from happier customers.

Custora also integrates with e…

And all of this, without him having the slightest inkling of awareness that any of this is happening.

London, UK. Full time. Priory Solutions - http://priorysolutions.com

We get great feedback from our customers allowing us to build things they actually want and really see the change that our products create. We’re the best in our field and we’re looking for enthusiastic developers to join our team, grow your career and help us deliver more value to our clients.
