deepster··on Ask YC: Startup Interview Tips
Not a tip...

But I'm curious, does anyone else get rubbed the wrong way by some of these job descriptions for these startups?

A good portion of them want "super smart", "kick-ass", "rockstar" developers and a number of them even incorporate puzzles. I understand people will mimic Google but don't ya'll think it's going a bit too far?

Or does it really work?

Absolutely Brilliant! I took me less than 2 minutes to pay 3 bills and check my balances. Normally this is 5+ minute affair!
deepster··on Ask YC: 6-Month road trip down the west coast...much advice needed
* Bring a bike and a snowboard!

* Go to Tahoe/Reno.

* Do a West coast run up to Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, Whistler. Ski in BC!

* I'd highly recommend spending lots of time in Portland/Vancouver. Both cities have a lively startup scene and the social scene is more friendly than Silicon Valley IMHO.

Maybe it's an attempt to limit 'I can has lolcats'
