Awesome Job Posting

Written by Dave Kennedy. View Comments Posted in: if (post == wierd) {category = other}

So, as many of your know, I’m on the job market at the moment. In addition to reaching out to folks and cruising the traditional job boards, I also keep an eye on Craigs List. I saw this today. It’s awesome: I love the code in it! It reminds me of the Google interview code from a little while ago. (Google Blog & TechCrunch)
