I'm not a Superstar, nor a Ninja and I'm of course not a Rock Star but, damn if I can't code my way out of a conflict with a Banana (or other dangerous fruits). Unlike most Superstar/Ninja/Rock Stars coders I (when not quilting) enjoy quiet hours in dark rooms writting CRUD code. Maybe "enjoy" is too strong a word. Anyway.... tea anyone?

Anybody has a code example how to login to a Rails app with FaceBook API call?
Here is the PHP example,

thanks

Is anyone else frustrated with how people are looking for Rails
"ninjas" and "rockstars?" Whatever happened to being a smart, hard-
working, energetic team player who doesn't make it a hobby to kill
people in the middle of the night or demand bowl-fulls of green M&Ms?

What if you've got a pointed stick?

Absolutely agree with this sentiment. There's been a few good articles about this:

http://www.enlightsolutions.com/articles/stop-seeking-out-the-ninjas-hackers-and-rockstars-how-to-write-better-job-descriptions/
http://www.thefailingpoint.com/2009/08/buildingateam/believe-that-you-need-to-hire-rock-stars/
(and probably a few more out there, as well)
I'm guessing the description Chris posted was probably a turn-off for a lot of people. Probably not the best way to find someone given the current demand for experienced Rails developers.

Personally, I'm tired of the rockstar meme and, unfortunately, it seems to be growing in popularity: www.indeed.com/jobtrends?q=rockstar&l=boston
I think the term has entered the vocabulary so that entrepreneurs and recruiters innocently use "rockstar" as a synonym with "highly skilled developer". I don't think they realize that the term is getting very tired and old! But I guess there may be developers who aren't tired of the term yet. In the end, it's not a big deal. However, don't expect to attract the best and brightest Rails developers if you litter your rockstar post with misused punctuation and ALL CAPS!

Venture capitalists and business people want to hear buzzword about rock
stars. But no amount of rock stars can replace one professional
individual.

Next time someone calls me about a rockstar job, I'm gonna ask if I can show up drunk and 4 hours late, and if I get groupies.

I remember a time when hacker was a pejorative term used for people
who programmed with duct tape. I think the meaning has changed to
simply mean (web) developer. I never refer to myself as a hacker,
though, as it feels like I'm insulting myself. :)

By the way, Mr. Mitchell, I hope you don't feel unwelcome because of
the "rockstar" tangent that spun off of this post, even though you
didn't even use the term "rockstar"! I appreciate you bringing this
position to our attention.

I really must say... Who cares? It's simply recruiters trying to seem edgy, trendy, and cool. It's stupid... But it's harmless.
Hell, I'd say you could use it as a filter for determining when a job is not worth looking into.

| If you think about it, recruiters are in an unenviable position. Not only do they have to find people qualified in technologies that they, the recruiters, know little to nothing about, but they have to interact with our weird and insular little subculture.

Phil: I think this is a great point. I struggle constantly with trying
to get the right kind of information to our recruiters so they can
make our job of filtering easier. This is a _very_ difficult kind of
communication, especially with the insularity of our community and the
rate at which what we think is "hep" changes.
What worries me is that terms like "rockstar" and "ninja" (to a much
less extent "guru") take us back to 1999. They suggest the right
strategy is to down 19 energy drinks a day, blow money on Aeron
chairs, and cash out early and often.
Not that I'm against getting to success/failure quickly. I really
liked this recent NYTimes article on lightweight fail-fast startups:

Wow, I haven't felt this bullied since grade school:) Thanks for the
passionite responses and the advice.
I'll adjust my job postings in the future in a way that hopefully
won't turn anyone off.
This is a real project though, so if any "Experienced ROR Developers"
are interested in 6-12+ month contract in Boston with a flexible pay
rate, I'd be happy to help them out.

Dmitry,
For Facebook Connect implementations I've been using a combination of Facebooker and the JS api. Note, that these are both kind of in flux with the arrival of the open graph api last week. There's been a wide array of changes.
Overall, you'll want to derive the cookie's key in the same way the php call does.
If and when I get some spare cycles I want to work on an open graph wrapper that includes a lot of this authentication stuff. Perhaps that's something hackfest worthy?

Using Facebooker, JS API, and some custom internal code called
clearance-facebook.
Michael Bleigh's oauth2 wrapper is coming together:
http://github.com/intridea/oauth2
Might as well patch that up if necessary, Dan. That Sinatra example
right in the readme could be plopped right into Rails as a metal
endpoint. There's also a controller example:

I'm happy to create some banter. With all the abuse I've taken the
past few days, I figured at least one of you guys would express some
interest in this role? Or at least refer me to someone out of sympathy
alone:) Tough crew!! $500 referral fee if you send me someone that we
place. Need someone 100% on site in Boston for 40 hours/week. My
client is all over me for candidates. Thanks for you help and I look
forward to some more recruiter bashing today:)

Ouch, what are you guys looking for? A Java EE style job posting?
===
**Resource** should know the following **frameworks**:
* JVM
* EJB
* JMS
* JBoss
* Tomcat
* Hibernate
* Spring
* UML
===
I find it really nice that people from the companies are out there
trying to hire good candidates and not some "candidate hunter" that
has no idea what all those acronyms mean. I think the idea of this job
posting is being "funny" so the candidate knows how the company looks
like, if he's looking for a dead serious "come to work with suit"
place, that's not the job he's looking for.
I'm sure these guys know that this guy isn't really available in the
market but this is a nice way to filter out "resume machine-guns" that
send their resumes for every single job opening available, 'cos
they'll see the opportunity and think "nah, i won't make it, why
bother trying it?". Another candidate that is really interested will
probably send an email with his resume, a brief description of how he
would match that position and the things he thinks that he doesn't
have yet.
And guess what, look at the required skills, i think anyone that has
worked with rails for more than a year (and launched at least a single
project) MUST HAVE all those required skills, there's nothing
"superhero" or "alien" in there, just the plain old stuff any real
world rails programmer would know by today.

They do mention that you might drink martinis too. I'm partial to a martini from time to time, as long as your definition of "martini" includes "slug of gin straight from the bottle."

I totally agree. When I'm looking for work, the places whose ads show a little personality and make me chuckle are the first ones I respond to. Recall that Matz has said repeatedly that his goal in creating Ruby was to optimize for programmer happiness: why would you undercut that by going to work in an enterprise (pardon my French) environment? Assuming you're not desperate for a paycheck, which you're likely not if you work in Rails today.
