Ted Dziuba Says, "I Don't Code In My Free Time"
theodp writes "When he gets some free time away from his gigs at startup Milo and The Register, you won't catch Ted Dziuba doing any recreational programming. And he wouldn't want to work for a company that doesn't hire those who don't code in their spare time. 'You know what's more awesome than spending my Saturday afternoon learning Haskell by hacking away at a few Project Euler problems?' asks Dziuba. 'F***, ANYTHING.'"

As far as I can tell, he's a 26 year old programmer/blogger who doesn't much like to program in his free time.
I'm not sure why I'm supposed to care, but whatever.
Who?
Apparently, he's a big shot from YetAnotherDotCom. Why, I'll bet he's almost half as famous as the next random poseur.

The only title of honor that a tyrant can grant is "Enemy of the State."
A big shot YetAnotherDotCom who has a very confusing self identity.
It looks like he graduated in 2006... which is when I graduated and I'm 23. But then he posts this:
"I love it when twenty-something engineers take such a hard-line position on something they have so little experience with, like hiring. Saying that you wouldn't hire somebody for a programming job because they don't program in their spare time is blissfully naive. Yeah, I remember the days when my greatest responsibility to another human being was making rent on the first of the month."
Wait what? "Remember the days?" Wasn't that like... last year?
