I couldn't help noticing that "Strong Junior Programmer" stands out from the rest. It as a category suffers from juxtaposition with "Child Prodigy Programmer". The "Strong" prefix sounds like a meaningless qualifier that only serves to blunt the label of "Junior". I have to guess that the reason companies select out of this category is that the candidates are perhaps not qualified.

Either they want the candidate to be physically strong, or more likely, they're really looking for some other qualities which they can't easily summarize.
