Joel Spolsky has provided some wisdom on hiring the top 1%.


My theory is that the best way is to find them (the top 1%)before they realize there is a job market–back when they’re still in college.

Joel has hit the nail on the head and re-iterates the driving philosophy behind the Summer of Code. Get smart coders into smart start-up companies.

Hmmm. Now that one of the secrets is out, we’ll have to try harder… (Summer of Code 2.0 is coming)

Meanwhile, Nintendo, known for game characters such as Donkey Kong and the diminutive Italian plumber Mario, said yesterday its profits had leapt more than 77% to 174.3bn yen (£733m) in the year to the end of March.

Double Ouch!!
