I've spotted an impending train wreck in the wild!

@Fox So pretty much if Discourse was an e-commerce app! :D

Elixir? Fucking lol.

Basically, yes. :D
-
@Fox A marketing consulting agency that does not even have sense enough to brand their emails with their domain name? Seriously, they are really using a @gmail.com email address for a point of contact? Google Apps is like $5/month. They are not even trying.

They're a startup. $10 says they don't have any tech people yet and have no idea how to go about buying a domain name.

Their name is also generic to the point of obscurity. The only reason I know who they are is that the email address includes the zip code they're registered under.
Also, this is literally their advertisement they posted in public. Twice. Right next to each other. A marketing consulting agency that does not even have sense enough to spend more than 2 minutes making a wanted ad in Word. And that posts two of them within as many feet of each other.

Yeah...but that is the way the world is moving towards. Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc. All of their names are generic to the point of obscurity. The only reason we know what they do is because they have moved out of that obscurity. But modern business names are retarded.

Fuck, that is even worse. Somehow.

May I take a WAG and guess that they posted it at your college?

They will do that, once they hire the marketing people. And that Java...Script developer to make a website. And a heraldry expert to improve their name. And an email address advisor to tell them to move to a different city to have a better zip code in their email.
But at least right now they have the opportunities, freedom and maybe-not-that-bad zip code.
-
@Fox said in Now Hiring Java Script Developer:

Didn't you know that if you put the zip code in your email address, the post office will print your emails and deliver them to you physically?
-
Java Space Script.

Yeah, that was the part that caught my eye first. Then I kept reading and grew even more horrified.

@ben_lubar I had an interview once where I had occasion to ask the candidate if they were talking about Java or Javascript when they said "Java scripting". Their reply was predictable: "Yes, the Java scripting."

That's why you refer to it as ECMAScript instead, it's very good at filtering mistaken Java people out
-
@Sumireko It's also very good at making you sound like a hipster douche.
-
Whats the wtf? They are starting up, have little money, so they are trying to attract talent with "bring your tech" buzzword soup.
Of course, i doubt their intended audience would take seriously a physical piece of paper. But you never know.

Uhh what? That's the name of the JS standard. No need to be so aggro.

Extra bonus points!

@Lorne-Kates Yesterday I needed to search how to do something in Java and most of the results I got back were for JavaScript.
FWP

I like to talk about European Computer Manufacturer's Association script, because it makes me feel smarter

@Polygeekery said in Now Hiring Java Script Developer:
But modern business names are retarded.
honestly, most of the older names are too.
Macy's
Sears
Marhsals
Sam's Club
Wallmart
Shaw's
Hanafordand more
a whole era of companies named after the founding CEO.
or how about something like "Market Basket" Well it has something to do with markets and baskets.... is is a basket shop?
and if we really want to go to dark places: "Men's Warehouse" what exactly do they do? and why do they need a warehouse to do it in?
-
@accalia said in Now Hiring Java Script Developer:

Men's Wearhouse*

@Polygeekery men swear house. A gentleman's club where they can get away from their wives and call things fucking bastard cunts in comfort

Men's Wearhouse*
-shrug-
i spelled it how it's pronounced. it's pronounced warehouse because that's an actual word, unlike the marketing "buzzword" wearhouse.
-
You go to the warehouse to wear houses, duh.
-
@accalia said in Now Hiring Java Script Developer:
"Men's Warehouse" what exactly do they do?
That's where your factory floor gets men from, assuming you're not using a full just-in-time inventory management system.
-
@Sumireko No, it is pedantry. Nobody calls Javascript "ECMAScript". Literally nobody. It's called Javascript, period.
-
@accalia said in Now Hiring Java Script Developer:

Sell clothing for men to wear...
and why do they need a warehouse to do it in?
They have a lot of clothing to sell...
-
@aapis said in Now Hiring Java Script Developer:

Well, obviously one person does, so no, not "literally nobody".
It's called Javascript, period.
Actually, it's called JavaScript.
No, it is pedantry.
Ooh, so do I win?
-
@Dragnslcr said in Now Hiring Java Script Developer:

No, regardless of what you call it, with JavaScript everyone loses.
-
@Dragnslcr People who call it that don't count as people because they're only doing so in order to sound smart and pretentious. Ironic, considering the low barrier to entry for JS developers, and the low quality of just about every JS project ever written. Ergo, literally nobody.

There's a company next door to my office.
They recently rebranded as "Pepperjam".
What do they do?
Well, if you guessed "A bunch of sociopathic retards AKA a marketing company, which explains why they chose a generic-soup of a name-- and also explains why they're so braindead that their new company name is printed out and taped to the front door, despite their old company nameplate being RIGHT THERE which also has a retarded name", then you'd be right.
Also, they chose a stupid font, so everytime I walk by I think "Paperjam? Well, that explains why the 8x10 piece of paper looks crumbled. Is this a cry for help? Do they not know how to call their printer repair guy?"
-
@Lorne-Kates That sounds like something that someone might spread on bread, but never convince me to eat.

Oh.

How did we go from a Javascript job that doesn't require any Javascript, to getting pissed at a printer?
-
@ScholRLEA because anyone competent who has to deal with the swamp that is JS will ultimately need to vent their frustration on an inanimate physical object.
-
@Arantor You know, that makes perfect sense now. Thanks!
