FYI: That's fantastic feedback. I'm more than happy to take that info on board. Just send me a couple of those news reports on the ninjas becoming extinct (should be easy; there are various, right?).
For future reference I'll make sure I submit an advertisement that says. "Looking for a software analyst/engineer with 5 years minimum experience and blah, blah, blah..." "Must have 4 years commercial experience Good communication skills 3 solid references from on-the-job managers ... " Blah, blah, blah. "Must have Masters Degree in IT (because we all know everybody with a Masters is an expert programmer... right?)" I've put 1337 in my job description, and I will continue to... because it captures something about development that people have long forgotten... FUN!!! Excitement!!! Doing something that the average guy cannot... starting with an empty text document and creating a masterpiece of coding wizardry. Encompassing the irony and satire that is embodied by the creative logic we developers employ in our lives on a daily basis. We're able to break down a real-world problem into simple machine code... that in itself is something to behold. Turning the illogical into logic at the behest or irrational managers and executives; under tight deadlines and unreasonable expectations... we make the impossible possible. So, while I take your feedback on board and will probably mentally reference it next time I'm writing a job advertisement, I refuse to accept your blanket statement as being indicative of the majority of developers around the world. If you've lost your sense of humour, that's okay; plenty of others still have one. May you have a wondrous and fantastic day. I hope the next job description is more fitting to your critical positioning.
