we’ve possibly found a simple method for sorting out the ninja programmers from the less capable programmers

Can we please stop calling them ninja/rockstar/etc programmers and simply use "professional programmers" or "master developers"? This language is cute when you're 16, I guess, but personally I don't want to be compared to a middle-ages asian hitman for hire.
