many of the job listing phrases suggested by this post make the company seem more inviting, open, comfortable in general.

i don't see these phrasings as tied strongly to inclusion of specific underrepresented gender, sexual preference, racial or ethnic groups. many white males who dislike brogrammer culture will find these phrases more appealing too.

also, these phrases actually advertise for a different type of job in a different type of company, a company that isn't looking for a ninja/messiah to save its ass and make all the critical decisions singlehandedly, a company with a management team that isn't a gang of lazy, entitled, technical illiterates who are ignorant about how to organize and run a software dev operation.

in other words, this company is not just looking for a bro (sucker) to dump all the shit on (exploit). this company knows what it's doing.
