No, you're not mistaken! That's how Matasano has hired for something like 2.5 years. I left the company to do hiring-related things, after feeling like I'd more or less disposed of the challenge completely at Matasano/NCC.

There's a pretty big plug coming next week, though not from me. What we're doing meshes well with the worldview in my post, but it isn't a productization of it. This is just what I really think about hiring.




You gave the game away completely when you named your company Starfighter. Some of us lived through the 80s too =P


Can't find a lick of information about Starfighter online - is that on purpose right now then? (Pre-"plug"/launch?) Definitely curious, give us the 2-sentence version if you can?


2 sentences. Hmm.

"The company is called Starfighter. We'll have a little more to say about it next week."

:P
