If you are into software, then Hacker News is Christmas every day. Here’s a quote I pulled off there today. The writer was commenting on an article about recruiting developers:
My experience is that companies are "desperate" in the sense that they’re willing to invite you to lavish parties and fill you with free alcohol to get you to work there. But as soon as you start talking contracting, telecommute, or anything other than "sit at this desk for 60-hour weeks trying to get permission to fix an awful codebase with terrible equipment," suddenly they’re not interested.
