The Type of Employee You Really Want: Porn Star
The last two days we've covered why you don't really want a Rock Star or Ninja employee. So what kind of employee do you want? That's right: a Porn Star. Just checkout this job posting:
We are a bootstrapped software development company looking for hard working porn star to join our production. You won't be paid much, but will be compensated with tons of really enjoyable work.
You'll be working with other great developers who love what they do. Most of us go home and program even more on our own time. We never get sick of programming!
You should have tremendous coding stamina which results in voluminous output. You should be able to work repeatedly on the same task for hours on end and not get bored.
You will get very little direction, so it is expected that you know what you're doing - like it's instinctual for you.
We are still seeking our A round of funding and don't have offices at the moment. As a result you should be able to work in a wide variety of environments including coffee shops, motel rooms, my neighbors back yard and the dormitory of an all girl's catholic school.
We are a small team so you should be prepared to wear a variety of hats such as server repair man, pool cleaner and pizza delivery guy.
You should be good with people. We often begin the day programming by ourselves, but usually end up pair programming (or even small groups!) by the end of the day.
We are huge proponents of testing. We run a full test suite on every commit. If your code fails a test you will be prohibited from doing any new programming (especially with others) until the bug is cleared up.
We are a company of finishers. If we start a project we keep at it until it's done!
We expect a ton of users when we release. This thing is going to explode - we'll be all over TechCrunch!

You're going after the money shot?
On the other hand, it's strange that nobody ever wants to hire programmers for a programming job...always porn stars, rock stars, nijas, and poets.
It's funny, but maybe we should stop comparing our profession to others.
