At 33, with over a decade of experience as a professional software engineer, I have no interest working for a team that values long hours over steady productivity, elegant solutions, and thoughtful architecture.

I know that plenty of companies have been built "quick and dirty", but honestly I think any company, regardless of size or stage, can benefit from someone with experience gained from building real applications.

I live in NYC, not the valley, so maybe attitudes are a little different here, but I have no trouble finding work at companies that value my experience.
