No, that's been there for years, maybe since the beginning. We're looking for people who are not merely good at building things, but who can decide what to build.
Paul,
I've read Hackers and Painters, and you can't imagine how HAPPY I am that you've been in Florence, and have been influenced by what you saw there.
I love, love the fact that (at least in words) there is a care for beauty, for design.
I am a geek and a hacker at heart, but I also love when something is crafted beautifully.
