I am all for job postings, but I gotta tell ya, sometimes they just say silly things. 4 years developing flash. must know AS1 and AS2 Software development person (programmed before flash I presume) Background in other languages and systems Familiarity with design patterns Good understanding of basic database issues Not a position for an artist or designer. Must be willing to relocate to Detroit area. Ok, first of all, most people who have been doing flash for 4+ years are artists or designers. Almost no serious programming was even possible in flash before AS2 so by defining 4 years you are essentially insisting that someone *not* be someone who "has a background in other languages and systems". I'm not saying they don't exist at all, but it is such a silly requirement because it inappropriately limits the pool. Of course insisting that someone be an expert in AS1 is even more silly. Is this because their job will be fixing someone else's 5 year old spaghetti code? Then the kicker is that this person must be in the Detroit area or willing to relocate. So in my mind, they are looking for the tiny pool of people that studied computer science but were also interested in animation and so dabbled in flash before it was "real programmer ready" and are willing to move to one of the most depressed metropolitan areas in the US. And I bet they wanna pay like 70-80k. Why cant people write intelligent job specs. Oh and by the way I am not looking for a job I just find this annoying that neither I nor any of the excellent programmers I know (and I know quite a few) would qualify for this job. I really wonder where some of these job specs come from.
