All of this is more or less answered in the blog entry from nine months ago.[0] We haven't really done a follow-up, but since that blog entry, we attracted a new wave of absolutely outstanding folks. I don't think that I'm speaking out of turn to say that this is the best team that any of us have ever worked on -- and to the contrary, experience matters a great deal, as the team is exclusively experienced. I would acknowledge that we are a different kind of company, and one that attracts a different kind of technologist. (And frankly, given the issue that you take with our compensation, you would likely take issue with many other aspects of our hiring process as well -- and that's okay! Not every company needs to be a fit for every person.)

I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly would like to see more companies with a similar level of transparency, and which do a similar equal-pay compensation scheme, and which exclusively attract experienced engineers. I have long decided even before your blog post that this is exactly how I am going to run my company.
