Re: Get KDE devs hired by big companies, spread word!

and how do you think the community can force companies to hire KDE people? A company should always hire only the best, and sorry but although the community might want to think with their ego, a lot of times there are much better options than those who work on KDE

Now isn't that a provocative thing to say on a KDE news site? Are you by any chance a sore loser from the "competition"?

Wow. Who said anything about forcing?

The point is, to spread the news among KDE friendly devs who would then apply for the job. If enough of them do, then there's a pretty good chance one of them will end up being the best match for the job and get hired.

> A company should always hire only the best

Ok, we agree there.

And there you go back to trolling... Or at least deliberately trying to piss people off. KDE is like any other large software project, it has many great developers and some marginal ones. I think the balance there is actually pretty favorable for KDE compared to many projects.

N probably needs experienced Qt developers. KDE has developed an entire DE based on Qt, so they obviously are amoung the best, if not ARE the best, at developing with Qt.

I can tell you aren't a KDE developer.
