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

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

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

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

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

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... ;)

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

"Malicious" would have sufficed. ;)

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).

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

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.

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

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