A few bugs:

* The links for the very first project on the page are obscured by the ad

* Every single project's network and watchers page link to linux

* If somebody doesn't have a blog (eg torvalds) their "blog" link goes to "null"

* If you go to your own GitHire profile the "Add Info" link goes to http://www.githire.com/user/edit, which is an actual user

* http://www.githire.com/user/torvalds/edit <-- probably shouldn't be publicly editable

Stuck in Edinburgh (Scotland) got a list of hireable: false people. Went onto page 2 and there was Linus Torvald listed as hireable: false.

Hmmm...

Mebbies you don't mean hireable but available for hire. 'cos you have John Resig down as hireable: false, but no, you have Tom Preston-Warner down as hireable: true...

Hmm...

And I searched for myself (well I know if I'm hireable right?) http://www.githire.com/user/gordonguthrie

That ain't me...

That's weird. I'm using MongoDB on the backend. I think it's probably messing up being under the load of being on hacker news.

hey thanks s_m. definitely some bugs. most of those bugs are a result of a choice to launch quickly and see if anyone finds having a rank of github programmers useful.

I'm pulling the Hireable field from github. I will probably figure out a better way to determine if someone is hireable in future versions.
