And the (admittedly slight) gains in productivity for some of your developers is a nice bonus.

(June 2011)"]]>New York City -- Full Time Software Developer

Fog Creek Software is hiring full time developers, sales positions, and we're open to looking at intern resume's for summer 2012. http://www.fogcreek.com/careers.html

Though C is far from useless, it really isn't used here at the Creek. Which was a double bonus for me, since after 6 years immersed in C and C++ I could find a job that let me do something new but that I felt very comfortable interviewing for. That said, I really don't believe you need lots of C experience to do well in our interviews.
