Looking through yesterday's FTP server log and found a few hundred failed logins (over the course of about 3 hours last night) where the usernames were product names from our website as well as first/last names of contacts, also from the website.  (if they'd only tried Administrator/admin, they could have gained access to their very own read-only folder with one lonely text document about how unethical hacking is) So, sorry Chinanet, you've just been given the 554!

We are looking for an incredibly talented and gifted programmer to join us in developing a world changing platform that would be adopted by everyone in the world.

Otherwise you are allowed to work remotely, so long as you get your tasks completed on time. Must have real talent, as we are creating a life changing platform that will change the medical industry.

Sounds like too much work to me. You have to be there when needed. Terribly intrusive.
I mean, sure, I have to be here every day, but it's rare that I'm needed. Being needed is far more hype than its worth.
|
|
|
|
|
Oh crap! That sound like they're trying to replace me...
I may not last forever but the mess I leave behind certainly will.

Me! Me! Meeee!
I have been coding since precambrian period together with Kevin, Bob and Stuart.

My bank account is located at the Western Union branch on the corner of Happiness and Health. Just send it to VB_Coder. I'll collect the cash and send you the rest of the code.

Using only 4 programmers!

We really shouldn't need more than 1 programmer should we? I mean what would all those people do?
Now, Marketers...we're going to need 100s of them.
|
|
|
|
|
That's what the other three programmers are for. Three programmers are roughly equivalent to 99 marketers by my calculations.
Sure there's a little bit of slack, but I'm confident if we pull together we can make up the difference!

There's one born every minute. How many applicants have they had already?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Cool, they must be developing another javascript framework that'll be all the rage for 4 months before the next one comes along.

Excellent! I hope that like all freelance projects they want all the code to be on their servers at all times and they'll pay me when the whole project is finished and they have all the code up and running.

Quote: been developing websites and platforms since they were a teenager
When I was a teenager, websites didn't exist... neither did the internet!
My first computer was a mainframe!
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Stop your limited thinking.
How're you going to get ahead like that?
I personally worked on the Internet __before__ it was created.
We used typewriters and shuffled the papers amongst ourselves.

I was around when the first internet virus was deployed on DARPA. Imagine the fun of single stepping a DEC 8/12 to trap it.
The difficult may take time, the impossible a little longer.
