Of all the places; really? You went with the "rockstar" moniker for hires?

[scottw]

Maybe "rockstar" is the new codeword for "confident junior".

[jemfinch]

More likely "confident junior willing to work for less remuneration but greater publicity".

[abredow]

This adequately describes a sentiment that I hadn't previously figured out how to put to words!

[droz]

How would you decode "Guru", "Ninja" and "Pirate"?

[mrspeaker]

I think that was just a bit of link bait for HN: notice that they didn't use that term in the actual post. Though maybe I'm attributing to malice... ;)

[jedberg]

I can be slightly malicing sometimes. ;) (Did I just make up a new word?)

[larrik]

"Malicious" would have sufficed. ;)

[jedberg]

Code reuse is fine for coding, but in language, reinventing the wheel is the way to go!

(Sorry, I'm a bit punchy at the end of this week).

[jshen]

We're hiring ninja programmers at my awesome startup. If interested you must show your skills with a test. Turn malice into an adjective. ;)

[jedberg]

Indeed I did. I admit, it was a little underhanded way to get you to click. But it worked, right?

We're just trying to get the very best people we can. Apologies for the ruse.

[elxrr]

I clicked because I read "Reddit is hiring."

[randall]

I feel like there's gotta be a hint of irony in the title.

[jedberg]

jedberg is known to be ironic like that.

[roc]

and apparently known to refer to himself in the third person.

[mrkurt]

I'm sure they're so giddy about being able to hire that they didn't think much about it.
