    Why didn’t I decide to become a programmer?!?!?!?……Clearly made the wrong career choice. However, if you ever need a good economist, please let me know asap!

    If OLX ever needs another ivy educated economist, I will be sure to let you know :)

    int main()
    {

    while ((NY.fun > BA.fun) && (useconomy != depression))
    {
    for (int offer = 0; offer < 10,000,000; offer += 100,000)
    {
    agree = false;
    }
    cout << “Sorry Fabrice, no dice!”;
    }
    return 0;
    };

    PS – yes I know that loop will repeat infinitely. If BA.fun ever is > NY.fun, I am willing to reconsider . . .

    Hey Fabrice,

    Looks like AOL was not able to run XDrive successfully. I wonder if you could cut down the infrastructure cost with allmydata, maybe worth a stab here:

    I like the idea. We have a much lower cost structure. However, Allmydata does not have $5 million in the bank…

    If someone wants to fund us, that could work…

    When are you coming to The Netherlands and linking up with http://www.Hyves.nl (open social) ?

  9. July 25th, 2008 | 5:52 pm

    I would love to partner with Hyves. However, given the strength of Marktplaats, I think it’s going to be hard to win in the Netherlands.

    What do you think?

    21y/o British/Mexican bilingual programmer with 11 years experience. QB, VB4-6, HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, VB.NET, C#.NET, ASP.NET, C++, Java and a few other tidbits :) If I meet OLX’s requirements drop me a line :P I’d like to know how much the salary is, I am planning on going to study a masters in AI next year but if it’s good enough, I might just as well go to BA ;)

    We pay very competitive rates by BA standards but don’t expect a US or UK type salary! That said, given the cost of living, you will still do well.

    Email me your resume.

    Hey Michael, you would probably do better by moving to BA but keep working for the UK ;)

  13. January 6th, 2009 | 3:47 pm

    Still have any needs in this area Fa ?

  14. January 6th, 2009 | 3:48 pm

    We are always looking for fantastic developers.
