Having seen many job posts on this list, I think this blog ( http://labs.ft.com/2014/08/not-everything-is-awesome/ ) hits the bulls eye. Sample this:
"As much as it’s irritating to see these ‘performance superlatives’ used in job ads, it’s also just plain hilarious to imagine what it would be like to literally hire one. Rockstar: Music would be too loud. And think of the tantrums. Would refer all pull request comments to their agent. Guru: Code would probably be indecipherable. Solutions would work but no-one would understand how. For no apparent reason documentation would only make sense when incanted. Ninja: Would you even know if you had hired a ninja? At least they probably wouldn’t use much desk space. Superstar: The entourage would get in the way, and red carpet is hard to clean." Regds, mano -- Computers are useless. They can only give you answers. ~ Pablo Picasso _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc ILUGC Mailing List Guidelines: http://ilugc.in/mailinglist-guidelines
