    • interviewed coders and analyzed resumes from the candidates
    • hired a talented remote Python coder and managed him through the project until the first releasable milestone was complete, with weekly status-update chats over skype to keep him motivated by exanging ideas, adapting the specs and making sure we met the deadline under the budget.
