STUMP the Developer

ADJstarted as a humble gathering place for people to connect and find top talent and hot jobs. It's always been free, we rule with an iron fist, and we smite spammers ruthlessly. Many jobs are featured in ADJ that are never made public, and there is talent hidden in this private group that secretly yearn for a better gig. It's an interesting place, for sure. Mix this all together in a bar, and we've got an amazing event. Let's do this!
