Software "Artificer"? Artifice: "Clever or cunning devices or expedients, esp. as used to trick or deceive others: 'artifice and outright fakery'." Not necessarily the greatest way to describe yourself...

Artificer: 1. a skilled craftsman 2. a clever or inventive designer

It's like calling "Digital Plumber" to sysadmins. Maybe etymologically incorrect but you have to admit that it sounds great.

I think this is a good idea but the more popular you get the more filtering you need. If 1000 hire-ees want to meet for coffee how will the hirer filter them? Well I guess I like the idea from the hire-ee perspective. But isn't it a bad deal for the hirer? How does he know I'm even worth talking to? The most valuable asset we have is time and you are asking people running companies to give a lot of it away.

Agreed. We're working on a ranking and reputation algorithm that will only show the best Coders for the Startups. We don't want to waste anyone's time, on both sides.

What parameters are you using to define who the "best" coders are?
