  1. Re:"Enough volume" is 1 per open position on How Do You Find Programming Superstars? · · Score: 1

    Interesting ideas.

    I agree with high IQ!=quality employee, mainly because so many tend to be free-thinkers and don't like to conform. However, with that weakness, there comes the strength of passion for learning. I have found that to be universal among those I've met in that group.

    I do read most of the ads in the back of one of those publications. (You never know when you'll stumble on an opportunity you haven't even been searching for.)
    While I am not a professional coder, I do know some. I would mention such an ad to those I do know, so you could get third party referrals that way.
    That said, I hardly glanced at Google's; mostly because I have no desire to move, much less back to the west coast.

    They have to wait in the latest never ending line for the latest eyeGizmo and so, won't be able to attend. "Queues of more than 100 people have already formed outside the company's flagship store in Manhattan, with one gentleman -- the first to form the line -- now in the 4th day of his vigil on 5th Avenue."

    Google trends, GNU vs Linux
    I think people google Linux and hardly have a clue about GNU.
    Personally I think I had been playing around in the best OS (IMHO) for 3 years before I heard of GNU.
    I am not saying GNU isn't important, but it is still relatively obscure to the "people."
