    I had a candidate claim he was a ninja. I told him I couldn't see him today.

    Things will get loud when they start looking for a rockstar developer. How do you develop rockstars anyway?

    The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
    This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a fucking golf cart.
    "I don't know, extraterrestrial?" "You mean like from space?" "No, from Canada." If software development were a circus, we would all be the clowns.

      Let me guess! You place all your lines neatly on a table profusely using reflection (mirror) and then pipe them (through a straw) into the front-end (nose).

        You forgot the "ninja" part ... you didn't cut off the interviewer's head!

            After that they reach the end of their life cycle and get garbage collected?

              When the interviewers told me they were looking for ninja developers, I told them straight up I'm not one. Now they want me madly. :doh: Said something about me "bringing balance to the force..." :-\

                Does a superhero/ninja developer get paid a super salary?

                The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

                  That's often too long anyway.

                    Hah. Once I saw this recruiter talking to everybody on LinkedIn: "Looking only for the nerds! If you are a nerd, and know how to program, and have experience on it, we are accepting only the bests! We pay the market compatible salary." People started to make so many jokes out of it that the recruiter had to delete the job announcement.

                      Clearly, they lied. Fuckers. You wouldn't want to work for them anyway!
