Artisan Coder

But there are out there things like this:

We don’t really care about the title but we want someone good (who doesn’t?). We need someone able to model and code well (No architect who never codes). The ability to communicate well with a team is also a big plus. You don’t need to speak French (we are in France) but a reasonably good English is mandatory.

If You:
• like coding 4+ hours straight
• like to solve a coding problem elegantly (and are bothered if can’t)
• like and read real CS books (SICP, EGB, TAOCP, etc…)
• code in Haskell, Python and C++
• are a gamer (this one is optional)
• are interested in computer graphics (optional too)

What we offer:
• interesting problems and creative freedom
• quality of life (no overtime, sunny countryside, French food and low rent)
• a pay in Euros
• comfortable workplace, etc…
• coding in Haskell, Python

The boss really codes. He likes Haskell, Python, Reddit, and wants the team to be there for the long run (i.e. happy). He also modestly wrote and posted this jobs offer.

So let me see: Haskell, games, and Computer Graphics. How sweet. Also, note the emphasis on how the boss and “architects” still code. In underdeveloped places, coding is just for drones, and bosses and “architects” can’t do it to save their lives.
