Nice hype... but I'm not sure about the rockstar angle being
applicable to computer programmers like us. ^_^

Job advertisements need to have less buzzwords and to be more varied. I'm sure there's a great conspiracy going on where there's this job ad template where people just paste in around about 5 words to make it look slightly different. Here's what caught my eye
1. (BAD) Rockstar. I'm only good at guitar when it's attached to a console.
2. (GOOD) Experienced Ruby on Rails Developer, gets the point out quickly.
3. (BAD) A GREAT opportunity to work with a cutting edge company who embraces new technology and makes a significant contribution. Buzzwords gather in this sentence like teen girls in a Justin Timberlake concert. Less buzzwords. This is the crap people who look for jobs read every day. The "new technology" you're using is probably something we've already heard of... 2 years ago.
4. (GOOD) "Position: Ruby on Rails Developer". From this point onwards, the top half's statements have been reiterated. Any details I would've found in the top half (and read if I had any interest in the job) are now repeated so I can read them again!
5. (BAD) "Company has written arguably the best", "arguably", "ARGUABLY"! Does this mean that it might not be the best? Also, it's not named anywhere. Why should we believe you, a company that we've never heard of, about that your product is "arguably" the "best"? Link us to some websites, fax us some of your trophies and maybe we might start believing you.
6. (NEUTRAL) This is a long one:
*makes revving noise*
2 years experience and one successful deployment. Shame I'm not in the US.
SELECT * FROM `job_advertisements` WHERE `effort` = 'Awesome' AND `readability` = 'Worthy'
I could get more complex, but most of the SQL stuff Rails does for you.
body {
font:12pt Arial;
margin:0px;
background:url('images/background.jpg') repeat-x #00ff00;
}
$('email').hide
Ajax.Updater('element', '/url', { :asynchronous: true, <more crap goes here> })
Love writing them, still twitch when I see one break.
IQ rated at a 154... by an internet IQ test. That must mean I'm smart, right?
I'm awesome with money. I can do the one thing many people have trouble with: save.
Is that anything like "#!"?
I'm not a Rockstar, I'm a Rock God.
Thank you, I'm here all day.

What about pirates? Ninjas? Jedis? I'm so confused about what to look
for these days... do they want groupies, or an eye patch, or a frigging
light saber!?!?! *sigh*
7) (BAD) "We are revolutionizing the social networking space". No. No you
are not. It's simply not possible considering the number of offers that
use that phrase.

Funny stuff. Really funny. But then we wonder why people think the Rails commonity is just a big group of fanboys and jerks. :)

Brian, I think you're confusing us with either PHP or Java. Could you provide less of a generalisation so I can narrow it down to the precise one?

I bloody wish!
To get there's going to cost me $3,500! Stupid large ocean coupled with profiteering flight-providing companies. I'm still considering it, however. It is a huge amount of money to spend on 4 days of Ruby.
