And here's another fine example: You love Macs, open source software and tools, and cringe when you hear the words .NET
They're advertising for a PHP/Ruby dev so making outlandish bullshit requirements like that, along with iMac fawning, is a must.
Firms like this that dictate the technology stack you'll be forced to conform to are unemployable to any good developer.

You love open source software, but not enough to use an open source OS
This is totally me. I spend tons of time bitching about Windows, but I never just up and move to *nix because of some Windows exclusive things I want.

#75After just finishing their REMOTE book, I feel like this is the next natural step.
I hope some higher quality companies begin listing on this job board soon, however.

#76This is a more general comment about job postings in general - Why are salary ranges so seldom listed. If you look at a lot of leading job boards even the company name isn't listed (recruiters). Isn't salary a basic piece of information that every job listing should have?
They keep it hidden for several reasons, though in reality they boil down trying to pay you as little as possible.
-They hope to wow you with the position so you'll accept a pay lower than you wanted. This doesn't work when the salary range is listed up front and is so low you won't bother to respond.
-They're going to base their offer on how much you make now. This works when you're trying to move up in your career, they can offer you a little more then you make now but not as much as if you're already getting paid well. Again, they lose this position if they're up front with their range.

#77I've been searching for a remote job for the last few months. This site comes in really handy. Listing remote jobs isn't new (for example, Authentic Jobs has a clear call-to-action to filter them), but focusing on them is interesting. What I've learned so far is that a remote job is not exactly what I thought it was. Considering the mostly globalized state of the web (and even the internet), I thought "remote" meant…
What's so difficult about New York? What job level are you searching for?

#78I've had the hardest time finding a remote + part-time programming job. I have a day job, but want to work extra during the evenings as well. Basically, two jobs, but the second one being part time obviously.
I've tried craigslist, indeed, SO, even HN who's hiring. I send off to anything that looks like it might work. Have had zero success.
I can only assume it's a non-desired position. Who wants to give a programmer access to their codebase/databases while no one else is around? :shrug:

This board is a fine example of why you have to charge for job board postings. Even Craigslist charges $25 to keep out junk.
I believe they're free today only, as a promotion.

"We're looking for a younger developer" - it's probably important to point out it says "junior developer" Discriminating based on skills is fine. Doing it by age is very problematic.
