I brought up adding new profile functionality to some of the engineers there. (I was pretty excited about it). They just looked at me like I was stupid. My idea was probably lame. But — being uninterested in new ideas is a death nail to internet sites. Passing out liquor at digg nation parties wont generate new ideas — just headaches.

Digg is becoming a cult like site. Cult sites generally have the same (non ad clicking) crowd over and over.

Doubling the staff? Good luck interviewing there. Hint: Study up on oo design patterns and the Mysql optimizer. Oh, and if you aren’t prepared to do relational algebra on the spot, forget it.

But if you know these things, your better off at a company with a better traffic graph.

BUT! Thanks for the money! Ill have fun drinking it away at the next digg nation!
