I'll try to respond to all points in this reply.

1. I asked the OP to apply - I assume he is really good.

2. I use the brilliant as a shorthand to say we need people that are very talented.

3. We need very talented people because the code we have, while it looks simple, is very challenging. I was on the Win95 core team at Microsoft - our code is more challenging.

4. We don't do brain teasers in our interviews, they are not an indicator of how effective you'll be (read Word Rules). We mostly have you walk us through your code. And we'll ask you to walk us through how you would approach certain problems.

5. Any workplace is not for everyone. We try to be upfront with applicants as to what they'll be doing here and what the culture is like here. This includes a final "interview" where I go through what they'll be facing here and answer any question of theirs I legally/ethically can. So they come in knowing what to expect.

And hey, if we're not the right place for you that just means you're looking for something different. Never let a job interview define you. And never let a series of no's get you down.

Please apply at www.WindwardStudios.com. We're looking for a brilliant senior full stack developer.

We mostly have 2 people/office. We would have done individual offices but the office space we found to rent was perfect except the offices were larger and so it was a LOT cheaper to use the existing build-out.

It is working well. People mostly are heads down getting their work done. So add Windward Studios to the list where all developers get offices.

Windward Studios - http://www.windward.net Boulder, Colorado

We have the best group of developers I have ever worked with, and that includes when I was on the core Windows 95 team at Microsoft. Very smart, motivated, and work really well with each other.

We want rock stars who work well with others.

Our existing code is Java and C#. We're presently creating an equivalent of Word + AutoTag in the browser using typescript & Sencha (for the U.I.).

We are self-funded, profitable, and growing.

What is it like working at Windward? In the words of some of our employees: http://blogs.windwardreports.com/tomasr/2012/01/come-work-wi... http://blogs.windwardreports.com/matta/2012/02/help-theyre-m... http://blogs.windward.net/davidt/2012/02/05/why-you-want-to-...

Prior to Build I would agree with Forbes. But after atending Build, I think Ballmer may have Microsoft on the right track - http://blogs.windward.net/davidt/2013/06/30/this-is-not-your...

I thin that's "when stackoverFlow goes bad."
