In an email from Greg Coomer (the original writer for the handbook) to Ray from Flamehaus.com, Greg was kind enough to share the handbook to the community.
We wrote this book to make it as easy as we could for new people to join the company. It was fun to capture these thoughts and put them all in one place. Let us know what you think.
Greg also clarified "just to be clear, this doesn't mean you're hired".

Now wouldn't it be nice if someone just let access to "Talk Alias" happen to fall off the back of the truck, so to speak.
 
B-but I was f-faster...

Great read. If only all game companies were like Valve...
 
That is literally the best thing I have ever read.
 
That was a great read, more companies should be this way.
 
I think this handbook goes a long way toward explaining why Valve can't ever release anything on time.

I wonder how many amazing idea's have never seen the light of day because Valve employee's got bored working on them.
