Está no Craiglist, maior site de classificados grátis dos Estados Unidos, uma oferta de emprego para o cargo de “programador ninja” em São Francisco. Talvez a oferta mais original e engraçada que eu ja tenha lido…O tom é de puro desafio a quem “se acha” programador.
Os candidatos devem enviar o mais inovativo código “hello world” ao ofertante, caso falharem na “entrevista” o código é mostrado em tom de deboche no site: saymix.com. O código “hello world” deve ainda ser enviado nos formatos texto puro, pdf ou open office com menos de 150kb.
Se você lê bem em inglês, o texto é comédia pura. Mas é uma oferta séria! Quem se arrisca?

To all who Think Themselves a Programmer
We don’t like you. You are a weak, oblong programmer.
We only like amazing, bad ass programmers.
You, dude, are not bad ass.
Just try to implode our faces, and show us your bad-assness. Oblong.
Let us see if you are a programmer worthy of existence.
*Real application for real position in downtown-ish San Francisco (SOMA) with competitive salary.*
*Only apply if you are serious about coming into an office daily to be of programmer awesomeness.*
Constant Civilization Annihilation Action with an all technical team.
We are ready to hire the next bad ass super ninja in our 3+ year old company of 5+ ninjas.
You must seriously know a mainstream-ish dynamic or functional(lambda-style) language such as Python, Perl 5/6, Erlang, Ruby, non-MS Shell, PHP, JavaScript, ActionScript, Haskell, Objective-C.
Go away if you like Java or don’t think running non-Microsoft OS is an adventure of awesome.
You must be willing to learn new languages and develop in uncommon technical coding design patterns.
You must understand that “Web 2.0” is a facade along with the other weak terms that exist.
If you have a Computer Degree of any variety and think it is worth anything, then go away and don’t waste our time.
