Looking for Django/Rails expert to join a YC funded startup this summer
It would be helpful to mention what your startup is doing.
Why do people like this ask for experts?
I know you want an expert, but you really have to approach this logically. If they're an expert, it's highly unlikely they're going to accept equity in some unknown, dubiously advertised startup rather than the sweet cash they are (or at least if they're a real expert, should be) making already. If they aren't making real money, then you should probably question their qualifications, and in the process, rethink what you're offering your future employees.

"We're a YC team of 2 looking for a Django/Rails whiz to build our web app."
Are the two of developers as well or are you business guys?
Isn't every rails developer an "expert" by definition, um, I mean religion? ;-)
