Каких программистов берут в GitHub 24.10.2009

Один из создателей GitHub, Chris Wanstrath, выступил на конференции Ruby Hoedown 2008. Особенно порадовали слова о том, каким нужно быть (а точнее что нужно делать), чтобы начать делать интересные проекты с самыми лучшими разрабочиками со всего мира:

In fact, stop worrying so much about other people. Every time I’ve worked on a project I thought other people would really love, it was a massive flop. Every time I’ve worked on a project I loved, it worked. If you’re sitting in this room, your taste is not as far off from those around you as you’d think. Build something you love and others will love it, too. (Not everyone, of course.)

Alternatively, do something hard, the hardest thing you can think of, in your language of choice. Stretch the boundries. Make Ruby cry out in pain. Install ImageMagick. Rewrite all of the standard library. Write an Objective-C bridge. You know, something just devilish. Flex your brain.

Work on your small project for a few Sundays, declare it complete then move on. Learn another language, or write something else in your new language. Pick up a new web framework or work on flashy effect number two. Add concurrent task execution to your Rake. The more acclimated you get to this process, the more creative your ideas will be. It’s the whole 10% inspiration 90% perspiration thing, and it worked for me.
