Do any of you know any developers that fit the following?
Who We Are Looking For:
We are looking for a senior level php developer who understands what it’s like to work for an unfunded startup to take us to the next level. (Yes, we know you could very easily still be a student at one of the local colleges.)

After working with our developers in both India and America over the past month, I have come to think about various differences between the two. I have started to see similarities in people I know here in the US and able to divide them into groups with respect to the skills needed to be an entrepreneur. For example, our American developer is a very independent person who can take an idea and run with it. He lays out a variety of prospective directions to take a project and goes out of his way to present the best solution for a given project. With his knowledge, we’ll be able to use Amazon Web Services and EC2 services to process a large portion of the code we’ll have to run on a daily basis. It will cost us money, but in the long term it may save us quite a bit due to the costs of maintaining hardware and the omnipresent possibility of hardware failure. He’s creative and really knows everything within and surrounding the scope of what we need, allowing us to expand what we would otherwise be able to do.

Being the senior interactive marketer on the team, I feel I need to address something that recently happened on this blog. For our regular readers, nothing noticeable happened. However, for those affected, I want to apologize for any inconvenience it may have caused.

My father has this saying, “Never stop learning.” He’s in his mid-70s and he’s always trying to learn new things. Mind you, he has a B.S. in Chemistry, Masters of Public Health and a Ph.D in Toxiology, so he’s got no shortage on knowledge already stored up in his noggin. With this said, every challenge you take up in life should be a learning experience. You should be looking to expand your horizons and grown in your professional. Without going beyond what you normally do and what you already know, you tend to stagnate.

Ever since I started doing this venture full time about a month ago, work has been non-stop. I’ve managed to endure 15-18 hour days skipping nights, weekends and holidays working, but on the bright side, I’ve been skipping early mornings waking up a little later too.
