bad ass super ninja in our 5+ year old company of 9+ ninjas
This is really bad, I don't think I have seen a post more self absorbed than this one. Instead of worrying about their l33t skillz maybe they should think about the fact that their are few web problem domains that require l33t hello words and actually require more creativity, they are going to get more bang for their buck by getting a decent programmer that is creative than one that knows every detail of some obscure language feature, their looking for skills in the wrong problem domain. These are the kind of job posts that make programmers look like self absorbed individuals. I don't think it is a stretch to say that post like this immediate eliminate the poster from consideration by the best of the best. I used to be one of those guys, you know a ninja-rockstar-asshat-knowitall, then I worked with a team of guys that formed out of MIT. After a few weeks with them I realized what a tool I was, so did they. I was good, so where they, difference is I was the one with an ego they where not. I learned a lot from those guys, the most important thing I learned was a group of guys with no egos can accomplish amazing things.
