The short list.

The Good List

This is a partial list of good companies and people I believe to be ethical, smart, and hard-working—doing it the right way, for the right reasons.

How to think of this list

If you needed a job, and I could afford it, I would hire you if:

  1. Your name is on this list.
  2. You worked for a company on this list.
  3. You were introduced to me by someone whose name is in bold.

Legend

Names in bold are people of exceptional quality—typically people I have worked with or know well enough to go so far as to risk my personal reputation to vouch for them. Names in italics are intensely strong-willed people with me on the A* list.

Industry Legends are people who have been around for a very long time, are very well known, have been involved in so many things that there's no easy way to describe them, or are generally considered to have made such tremendous contributions to the industry in the past that nothing further is expected from them.

Disclaimer

This list should not be considered complete, nor does non-inclusion imply anything. For more information, read the WAT.

Please file issues to suggest changes, and fork this list to create your own.
