Hello nerds! This is a craftsmen's guild led by gwn. See our about page for more information.

Our development philosophy is to always aim for quality and simplicity with a pragmatic touch when it comes either to the team, product, or processes. (We're influenced by Suckless)

For us a quality team comes before everything. We have a small team of talented generalists with a hacker attitude, a deep understanding of the "web operating system", and a sense of humor. And we're looking to expand this team (but not too much).

We are not looking for the mythical full stack developer who is an expert on everything, say, ES2118, CSS, responsive design, GraphQL, AWS, Kubernetes, Solidity and shit.

Instead we are looking for people who have a proper foundation on programming in general and the web platform, a strong intellectual curiosity, and the experience & ability to make good judgements when it comes either to technology choices, architectural choices, implementation details, analysis, prioritization, and interaction with customers (internal & external). This is what's important. Specifics can be learned. No one cares if you know flexbox or not. Or funky sorting algorithms. Or React hooks. Or NFTs.

We are very selective when it comes to the projects we work on, people we work with, partnerships we establish and tools & ecosystems we build on top of. It's not only about making money but it's about making it while having a pleasant experience & fun, learning stuff that is worth learning, building a proper reputation, investing in projects & ecosystems & people that will increasingly benefit us and be worth our very precious time in the longer term. All while preserving our health & wellbeing of course.

We invite you to reach out if you feel that we have similar values & goals and can have fun together. We would like to work with great people and are ready to support, mentor, compensate them in the most adequate ways possible.

We don't care about outdated performance parameters such as when & where & how many days in a week / year you work. As long as everybody is motivated, happy, healthy, trusting each other, managing expectations wisely, and getting things done; nothing else really matters.

Your level of expertise doesn't matter either. As long as you have the right mindset & potential we will be ready to mentor you even if you don't have a lot of experience. We're playing the long game here and we welcome you.

If you like what you've read so far and think you have what it takes to hang out with the likes of us, maybe you should reach out.

Potential apprentices, also read our apprentice onboarding guide and make sure you are not intimidated / turned-off by it before proceeding.

Send us a resume / CV preferably with a motivation letter that shows a sign of intelligence / character / whatever you think sets you aside from the common developer.
