I figured this was worth a shot.
I am:
- Someone that has been hacking since childhood.
- Someone that has spent most of his Saturday doing problems in a Haskell textbook for fun.
- Someone that thinks programming is very similar to art, if one is sufficiently good at it.
- Compelled by forces beyond my control to refactor code until it is elegant.
- Equally comfortable debugging disassembly, arguing with you about math, and frantically scribbling on your whiteboard.
- Able to debug your problem. Trust me.
You are:
- An early stage startup led by software people.
- Located in Manhattan or Brooklyn, or your idea is so incredibly exciting that I am willing to relocate to participate in it.
- Not using Java, Visual Basic, or other such variants of COBOL.
- Able to pay me, so that I can continue to pay my rent and avoid subsisting on boiled newspaper. This either means that you are funded, or you have a very clear idea of how you are going to make money.
- Not an egomaniac.
