Editor's Notes
- #4: 6/24/2016
- #9: 6/24/2016
- #19: 9 out of 10 applicants have never submitted a single patch to a single open source project. Even updating broken documentation puts you into an upper echelon of developer. It shows that you are familiar enough with some open source package to know what's wrong, you care enough to submit a patch, and the maintainers of that package think your work is good enough to be included. As a generalization, it shows that you take the initiative to leave dirty things better than you found them.
- #20: Proven culture-focused leader looking for her next team of clever, quirky people to build exciting, innovative projects.
- #24: Developers that tweet about drinking and going to see movies all the time tend to make mediocre hires. A tweet stream where every 3rd message is about technology points towards the kind of rabid junkyard dog developer that cares about his craft and relentlessly pursues solutions.
