I’d love to meet the programmer who wrote this job posting – it’s engaging while still full disclosure; I can already visualize the blog entries about meeting the client and actually interviewing for this one – the experience and entertainment value alone would be well worth the inconvenience of having to cram mysql and php programming to meet the bar.

I think I may already have worked for this programmer’s client equally odd twin; do a  global search of ”mysql/php programmer” in this job ad and replace it with “recruiter” and this would become an awesome job posting to hire a recruiter for an org I worked for in the past.  (although you’d have to change the second line to “sometimes the client’s honest, and they pay.  I guess 1.5 out of 3 ain’t bad.”)

If you wrote this job posting – please, please ping me; I really want to meet you and buy you a beer (soda, coffee, prozac, whatever….).  You wrote the job posting i will spend my whole life wishing i wrote… but I’m so glad you did… THANK YOU.
