I'm always turned off by job postings that use words like "rockstar", "ninja", "superstar", etc. I'm mostly a Python and Javascript dev (with some occasional PHP, Java, and Ruby) and I'd rate my ability as "average". I'm currently employed and I build websites and web apps. When I think of a "superstar" or "ninja", I think of someone who doesn't just, for example, have the ability to write Javascript code. I think of someone who knows every little trick the language has. Someone who knows the internals of V8 and/or Spidermonkey, and has maybe contributed code. Someone who sits on the ECMAScript committee. Who gets invited to large conferences to speak on Javascript. Someone who's written books that major tech publishers like O'Reilly or Apress or Sitepoint have published. Someone who has written a library or framework that thousands of developers use. I think of people like Doug Crockford or John Resig. Y'know, superstars in their field. I have a suspicion that many of these companies probably only need an average, competent developer, but they use language that makes an average developer think they wouldn't have a snowball's chance.
