Crap teams suck, no matter what they're working on.

I find it very HN of you to think that programming talent means being able to churn out code fast that does difficult things.

I'm just guessing here, but maybe 42floors want to make good, well engineered software that users love to use and that is maintainable for a while still. This has very little to do with being a "haskell/clojure ninja", yet very much with software talent.

From experience, people like Dan often don't make "well engineered software that is maintainable for awhile." I know Dan personally and he's a great guy, but what makes Dan valuable is his intelligence, intuition, and ability to Get Things Done. Sure, he can code, but lots of people can do that just fine.
