Fun: We have a little patience for people who donā€™t enjoy their work.

This has a dystopian vibe to itā€¦

I kind of find it ironic to post such a position on a forum that was created by and for people who had had enough of Xojo.

Plusā€¦ there is no such thing as ā€œXojo without Geoffā€.

It is at least a job proposal for someone who has invested time in learning Xojo and API2.
The ā€˜funā€™ requirement says that ranting all the time about Xojo while working with the team isnā€™t adequate.

If you are open for international applications it may be helpful to indicate the time zone or define in UTC.

Nice catch. Updated. Thanks (didnā€™t do it UTC but if an applicant canā€™t canā€™t figure it out from thereā€¦)

Having worked for Jay in the past Iā€™d say that it is indeed a fun place to work and his description IS quite accurate. It is fast paced, challenging, and there is a wide range of skills needed

If I had to summarize it Iā€™d say his attitude is

Work Hard. Play Harder.

The ā€œvibeā€ youā€™re suggesting isnt there in my experience

@jay I donā€™t the get the title.

If this were 6 months Iā€™d apply, even though I donā€™t meet the criteria. 25 Years of RB/RS/Xo but thatā€™s all API 1.0 and some Web 1.0.

However Iā€™ve thrown myself at Swift, SwiftUI and right now learning marketing.

Cheerfully withdrawn

The title is to catch attention, to make sure more people are reading. If Jay would have written ā€œHiringā€ it will attract less attention.

I have not the necessary skills, however, we should respect this job opportunity. It sounds perfectly valid to me.
