Posted on "authentic jobs" no less.

I see straight-outta-compton interns get more respectful job postings than that.

Yet another reason I don't feel bad about being on the Python side of the fence.

Yet another reason I don't feel bad about being on the Python side of the fence.

What reason? A company using a silly word in a job title has nothing to do with Python or Rails themselves from my POV.

If it does, perhaps Rails developers can enjoy being on the "Rails side of the fence" after reading this job ad for a "Python rockstar": http://www.linkedin.com/jobs/jobs-Senior-Python-Developer-29...

In the Python community we mock that sort of job req.

And I know Rails guys mock stupid job reqs too.

Rather then nitpick each other, let's team up against patronizing recruiters.

Its a meaningless phrase, with meaningless implications.

OK. please people, stop judging every fucking word people write. if you are going to submit a post just for using a word gangsta, please stop. we might as well start use the tag line "we judge you for every word you say" as tag line for hn now. should i say factorialboy is fucking offensive as a nick. is that what handles are coming to.

Jesus, calm down. You don't want to mess with me, I am a JavaScript 'ninja' after all. ;-)

Watch who you're talking to, I'm the Python Capo di tutti capi after all.

You should learn to relax, you wouldn't want to have an unfortunate heart-attack while skiing in Tahoe or anything, now would you?

So the Mafia are hiring Rails devs, cool I guess? How about people just move on and care about something more important... like beer.

The mafia would hire "gangster" devs. I think they are going for the rockstar's newest competitor, using the music metaphor, the "gangsta" developer. If the mafia were to want to hire developers and wanted to use a musical metaphor maybe they would want a "crooner" dev.

I'd go to the interview wearing this:
