A lot of software companies advertise for "rock stars" and "ninjas" as qualities of good computer programmers. It's puerile.

I'm surprised they didn't have some mountaintop monk "guru" as well. I hate that word the most.

They probably put it the job posting, but the mountaintop guru is not looking for a new job.

My boss calls me a guru on some of the work that I do. I get that it is supposed to be someone who knows or is able to do everything about a certain topic, but it always felt a bit insulting because I feel like there's a charlatan edge to the definition of guru. She actually means it as a big compliment. She tells everyone.

It's a solid red flag though for anyone looking for a job.

Well, he's got the ubiquitous "other duties as required" part of every job listing covered, anyway.

It was like this some 10 years ago. Can’t believe they haven’t evolved from that.

How did they miss "Jedi Master" in their list of qualifications?
