I'm not a developer, but would loe to see more work and more paid positions for Kubuntu/KDE work.

However as 1 out of 1000 coders are good, and only 1 out of 1000 of them really have the ability to think outside the box and understands user interaction, based on the basic laws of probability you have roughly 1 out of 1000000 chance of getting someone that actually fits your job description. That's a classic mistake done by nearly all nerd companies - not understanding that you need non-coders as coding and the rest of the required skills are counter-inhibitive. They truly commonly are incompatible. It is nice to see Canonical is pushing for better desktop!
