Their [evvnt's] responses are even more confusing than the original post (http://www.newstatesman.com/economics/2013/07/women-offered-perks-job-ad#comment-964234122 http://www.newstatesman.com/economics/2013/07/women-offered-...). It almost seems like there is some sort of english language issue here. I can't even be sure what they were trying to accomplish. Whatever it was they got it so very wrong.

Edit: After reading their confounding responses it almost seems as if they were literally asking people what "perks" where most important to them. Kind of the way social media marketers suggest you word Facebook posts as questions to prompt engagement. I honestly can't imagine how someone can be this naive. Their ongoing response to criticism on Twitter is mindblowing. I really am at a loss to understand how anyone can be this foolish. https://twitter.com/evvnt/status/357120127113773056 https://twitter.com/evvnt/status/357120127113773056 Also this is the original article: http://www.newstatesman.com/economics/2013/07/women-offered-perks-job-ad http://www.newstatesman.com/economics/2013/07/women-offered-...

You're right about it being a literal question; it looks like he was hoping people would respond with the ones that appealed to them the most (i.e. "I'd be most interested in 1, 3, and 10"). "Ruby developers have quality banter and like to squish themselves in to tiny pubs, drink lots of beer and chat projects and code. More of point 3 required. So in the art of snaring a ruby developer in the next 6 weeks, what temps these rare creatures out of their natural habit to venture to pastures new... Let me know which of the following would tempt you from you desk... [...] I'm looking for your best number or a combination of up to 3..." So I guess it's all hypothetical; it seems like he was fishing around to figure out what would attract attention or interest.
