You can't call me pompous then expect me to make a new thread just to appease you. If you think I am harsh talk to some people in the "real world." It is a terrible and fairly ridiculous perspective to put it in, but come on. If you're honestly so displeased, both Cloven and I have said some things were overstated in the original post.
I don't really see the negative reaction here. I filled both of the positions I needed to. Yeah, some egos got bruised, but I don't think you were even going to apply to work for us anyway. I think you'll live?

I think I'm pretty clear about what "competency" is in my first post..

I'm more interested as to why you'd want to "crack on my business skills" in the first place. Especially in light of the fact that this hiring thread attracted two very, very talented and intelligent developers, increased awareness about Delteria, and more or less did everything I wanted it to.
The people with hurt feelings here are the people who were too underqualified to get the job in the first place, or the people who were never planning on applying anyway. There even seems to be a bit of crossover: people who did not read my ten bullet-points about being qualified and got angry over it.
I just see my quality assurance methods as successful. They did EXACTLY what I wanted them to. I could not be happier with the two people I hired.
I'm willing to admit some things were stated wrong but to imply I've handled the entire situation badly is unfounded and I'd love to see you try to support that notion logically, if only for the novelty. Also, your insinuation that I hide behind my education implies a bit of prejudice against it, and perhaps the false belief that I think education directly correlates with skill and experience. I would question your beliefs about me before speaking further, because misinformation and misguided beliefs will not get you anywhere. Feel free to take a second shot at me, but I'd rather you did something more productive... like apply for a job at Delteria. Or not apply, at your discretion. But why come in here starting fights and criticizing aspects of my job when you have never tried to do it yourself? Doesn't that imply for certain a lack of experience on YOUR part, whereas in my case you only THINK I lack experience? In that light I find what you're saying to be extremely unfounded and even more unproductive. So before you "crack on my business skills," maybe think about why you're choosing to do it in the first place.
