@Shog9 I know of someone who's interested in that position; they pretty much meet the requirements (12 years in development, 6 years in management), but their development experience isn't in Web development. Since the primary role of the job is management, will that be a problem?
In stackoverflow.com/company/work-here/1098165/engineering-manager it says "You have a solid full-stack web development background (5+ years). It may be a few years since you’ve been a dev, but you still have a pragmatic attitude to technology and know how to take on complex projects and get them done."
we don't hire people who can tick off a checklist. Either they know how to apply what they know to our situation and can demonstrate it, or they don't/can't.
"full stack web development" is a modern euphemism for "understands all the pieces that go into getting bits off storage and onto screens thousands of miles away." It's a *necessary* euphemism because there are lots of people who've specialized in areas of that but don't quite grok how they all fit together and/or have very unfortunate assumptions about how much knowledge the bits they don't specialize involve.
@Shog9 I had to explain to my boss earlier this week that a full stack developer that's actually strong in every facet is becoming more and more rare... and expensive. People are picking individual tiers and specializing therein... to the point where you've got UI/UX people who don't code.
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog what we're looking for is someone who can manage multiple teams in a way that gets around the inherent tendencies toward siloing / feudalism that emerge in growing organizations.
@SonictheInclusiveHedgehog Should be easy to get there. Single bus, even. There's a stop right outside the shopping center and the MT Supermarket is an awesome place to get snacks.
... also, I love the name of the store "MT Supermarket"... because it's ... funny.
@Catija Supermarkets seriously improved about that need for "snacks" recently. I really love those falafel wraps, they offer at my nearest supermarket recently.

Yeah. The deletion date is probably more interesting?
Heck, while I'm sure it's not on the scale to cause much of a blip, but many of the comments people were posting about in here are way older than this last year.
