    This wasn't quite strong enough for the front page, but I thought that it was especially funny today given the whole HiddenNetwork.com thing ... this doesn't beat the Dice ad I posted a while back, but still fun ...



  • Classic!  I think it DOES beat the DICE one .......



  • I think that means it has to really REALLY be true.


  • ♿ (Parody)

    I'm starting to agree with you Jeff. The more I look at this ad, the more I say WTF.

    I just noticed another thing. Personally, I'd don't think i'd find a job "boring" if I got to work from my bedroom wearing nothing but underwear and a teeshift. Maybe that's just me.



  • as hard as it may be to fathom in this forum, there is nothing exciting about a new software engineering job.  unless that's engineering Hooter's waitress undergarments.



  • Finally we have found the guy who coded all the WTF posted here.



  • The mere idea for the code in the ad makes it cheesy. The fact that that the code's incorrect makes it legendary.



  • this was front page worthy... greatest ad ever.  Please tell me this is a joke you made to advertise your new employment website.... nope, just looked it up.. I guess it's not.  

     

     

    Wow, they don't have any jobs within 100 miles of me...  amazing.  I live 50 miles from boston and 50 miles from providence, RI.  in fact... 6,000,000 people live within 55 miles of me and they don't know of a single programming job...  bravo. 



  • Oi, with the way I code, I'd be perfect for these job search engine ads! My code would be the best of the best there hehe.

     

    Dim mySalary as string = "bad"

    Wait, I can do better!

    Dim myJobSalary as string
    myJobSalary = "bad"


    Wait a sec, I can do even BETTER.

  • if (MyNewJobSalary == "I want a stronger salary")

    That expression will return false when it's Java.
    And that's not because Java jobs pay badly...

    (Hint for the non-Java people: == compares object references, not the contents of the strings) .

  • I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't take a job where my salary is a [i]string[/i] and not a [i]float[/i]. I guess [i]int[/i] would also be acceptable...



  • I want a salary only describable by an unsigned long ;)

     This is definitely right up there with the 'so bad it's good' category of WTFs!

    Preferably a long int.  Definitely not a byte or char!



  • DUDE!

    I just got a 32-bit raise, I'm now in the 64-bit salary range! Next year, I'm going for it. Yes, you know it. ... the megabit salary!

    SWEET!



  • wow, I made the mistake of reading that a few times and now my head really hurts...Almost like inserting the square peg into the round hole where my head is the round hole and the square peg is a sledge hammer.

    A true WTF!



  • The Real WTF(tm) is that his indentation is incorrect.  Right?



  • What if I want to ask for a raise instead?

     

    <font color="#006600">// Try 5000 times to get a raise!
    // This company is such crap.</font>
    <font color="#000099">while</font> ( !$raiseGiven && $askedTimes < 5000 )
    {

    $askedTimes++;
      $raiseGiven = $boss->askForRaise();
    }
    if(!$raiseGiven)
    {
    	$me->stealFromCompany(OFFICE_SUPPLIES);
     }


  • I also love the "if (statement == true)" paradigm. I see that all the time in peoples' code around here.



  • [quote user="djork"]I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't take a job where my salary is a [i]string[/i] and not a [i]float[/i]. I guess [i]int[/i] would also be acceptable...[/quote]


    Forget "float".  I want mine as a Bignum.



  • Aaaawww, I never get to wear underwear and party hats in my job. Except at Christmas parties, and then I always have to live it down the following year.

    And I want one of those streamer whistle things. They're sweet. And I'm sure they would improve my productivity and over all value to the company.
