Gunslinging Rockstar Ninjas

Looking for a job? We typically hire designers and programmers. Other way cooler companies hire rockstars, ninjas and gunslingers. Screenshot of hiring ads with crazy titles Seriously, why? If you're in the job market, is it really more attractive to apply for a Front End Guru position?

Dear #2427, what is CCSS?

Funny story. At my Denver Employment Location I was a Web Scientist, then a Senior Web Scientist.

Currently, Padawan Coldfusion Jedi. But I'm ready for my Trials Master Yoda.

How about this one: http://www.linkedin.com/answers/STR_STP/269879-20846421?trk=ape_q080711i_9

iMarc did a great job on PermissionTV.com's website, but I'm still hoping to develop a relationship with the fabled "sh*t-hot developers that will code my amazing web 2.0 application for free."

Let me know

Has everyone forgotten that you can't see ninjas and you certainly would never know their identities. That is a pain in the arse for the payroll department. Also, those smoke bombs that they throw to disappear would definitely set off the fire alarms. Gurus on the other hand tend to eschew material possessions. It makes it really hard to design or program when you decide not to have a laptop. As for rockstars, well nobody believes you're a rockstar when you have to work a dayjob. Believe me you.

    Angelo Simeoni commented: Our issue tracker has a user option to open issue links in a new window. I can't remember if that's enabled by default, but that's one good use case. Imagine if it were default browser behavior to open all links in a new window. I'm going to mention that the next time someone suggests that interaction. Ironically…

    Marc Amos commented: When somebody who's signing my checks asks me to make their links automatically open in a new window, the scenario you describe above is pretty much the same scenario I describe to them as 'my professional opinion.' I ask them to consider what happens when the user aims for the Back button and it doesn't…

  • The Scientific Method

    Errol Sayre commented: Your key point says it all: "anyone who wanted that behavior was sophisticated enough to create the behavior on demand" My favorite are sites that go to such great lengths to produce open in a new-window-links that they make it impossible for you to right-click and choose "open in new tab". (Generally due to a…
