Here's a little secret about programming -- at its core, it's easy. Really easy. The machine does precisely what you tell it to do, exactly the way that you tell it to do. Truth be told, pretty much anyone can be taught how to program, and with enough experience will be able to write their code just as efficiently as anyone else.
That's not the whole story, though. While anyone can be taught how to make a computer do what needs to be done; knowing what exactly it is that needs to be done is a great deal more rare. This ability to anticipate the users' needs, to create an intuitive design, to make it simple to implement -- is the very soul of programming.
Hiring a programmer on the sole basis of how efficiently they write their code is a bit like hiring an author because of how neat his penmanship is. We get that here. Sure, we make sure that our code is well-written, we come up with clever ways to save system resources that most users will never notice; but that's not our core.
The vast majority of the time that we spend when writing a program is spent on designing how the end-user will interact with the program. We consider what the user wants, where they expect to find it, and even what they can use but haven't thought of. The rest, well, is just coding it to what the computer wants to see. The end result is simple: software that does precisely what you want it to and a help file that you'll never need to use.
We believe firmly that if you do the same thing that everyone else is doing, you cannot expect better results than what everyone else is getting. We also intend to be the absolute best. If you feel the same way about what you do, check us out deeper.
We think you'll like what you see.
