There’s a lot of superstition in engineering interviews, and here’s where I need to pull my credentials. I’ve been interviewing software engineers since the 90s. I’m not saying that a software engineer candidate shouldn’t code at an interview. Java, Ruby, Python and C will be available. Far from it.

Two years ago I got the bug to do an online recruiting startup and I began the hunt to find a technical co-founder - a software engineer who works for no cash - to help me build my dream website. You may get a software engineer to start something for you, but they wont stick with the project when it gets difficult.

Then last year I decided to re-educate myself in software development, but this time as a regular ol’ coder. I’ve had 7 jobs in Silicon Valley in software development companies, but 6 of the 7 were in business development. Drupal and PHP were tools I’ve acknowledged for a decade but never studied much.

I do disagree about two other points: First, this isn't the "quora rockstar engineer" perspective. It's my perspective as well and I'm not a software engineer let alone a rockstar. When Zuckerberg started Thefacebook.com he was a PHP coder (translation: not a real developer). You, a creative guy?

But my coders will beat up your coders, any day of the week. No offense, but I honestly think you have no idea what you’re talking about, and your irrational language biases are probably making you lose some really good coders. I am a dev working on.net stuff as well as ruby/c/js/coffeescript and whatnot.

But what I think was hard, and it was something he couldnt consider was that it would be harder to find a *maintaining* programmer, and how much it would cost to run the software, because of technical details he didnt understand. I am a Ruby on Rails programmer and have written the first line of code for a few startups.
