Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

The key is finding the best fit, not only the "best" Coders. People try to use numbers to evaluate candidates, but at the end of the day, we're all human.

Nice. I'm not interested in joining a startup, but meeting local fellow geeks for coffee or lunch to shoot the breeze would be awesome... kind of like a GeekGrindr :) A ChessGrindr would also be another cool idea!

We've been saying it's Highlight for Hackers. :)

GeekGrindr sounds painful. ;)

I know mobile is hot right now, but does this really have to be an iPhone app?

I made a mobile web app about six months ago, and this is what I heard over and over again from users: "Can you please please please make it a native app?"

Just to get our feet wet, my partner and I proceeded to write two simple iPhone apps. The first did 10x better than our mobile web app (with much less effort), and the second did 100x better. That was enough to convince us, and now we've shelved mobile web development in favor of iOS development.

That's just a personal anecdote, of course. I can't speak for the guys (or gals) behind Coder's Coffee. Overall, though, I think this is responsible for a lot of the interest we're seeing in iOS development.

It also helps that Apple has done a great job with XCode and the iOS SDK. Developing for iOS is really a pleasure.
