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.

  • A better tool

    Dave Tufts commented: Just downloaded Soulver - it's great. I also like using the search box in my browser or Google. Similar, linear layout to Soulver. (for the record, that giant calculator on my desk looked like a small regular-sized calculator in the picture on Amazon)

    Nick commented: Since Bill didn't do it, I will. "Oh snap!"

  • iMarcians with staying power

    Nick commented: Congratulations on the anniversaries. I had a professor tell me early on at the Art Institute that "you can expect to change web jobs every 2-3 years until you settle somewhere". I love proving this guy wrong every day. Congrats again.

  • Twitter, Alone, Is Not Customer Service

    Jay G commented: Same here, and my story is with Alaska Air, too. Their website said the customer service phone number was open something like 8am-8pm PST, but this was after hours, so I tweeted. Lo, and behold, I got a tweet response in 10 minutes with the 24/7 phone number. But this didn't change the confusion from their website…

  • Mobile browsers: Here's the data

    Robert Mohns commented: The data comes from visitors to iMarc.net — an important detail I forgot to include! — not the web as a whole. As for why so little Flash on mobile devices… I'd say this is because even Flash Lite is pretty resource intensive, and it's just not essential to the core content most people need to access. I don't think it has a lot to do…
