This actually looks a lot like the product of someone asking several "tech savvy" friends what skills a web developer would need, and then pasting the results into a job announcement.
This practice isn't limited to small shops either - I've seen multi-billion dollar companies (not in the tech sector) require a 4 year CS degree for a Wordpress developer position.
- sejje 12y agoI literally can't image the person, tech savvy or not, who would come up with DrRacket here. Or prolog. I agree with GP that its' just blind googling.
- dhimes 12y agoThis would also be a great way to warn other devs off of the company (note that the sites are given). I actually tried a couple of searches based on your comment and I really didn't get anything that wouldn't taken quite a bit of effort to piece together into this listing. "what does an expert web programmer know" "what does it take to be a web programmer" "what do I need to know to be a web programmer" This might be a warning written by someone who is leaving. In other words, with a less-than-friendly parting of ways, his/her final task was to write a job description to hire a replacement. If so, well played.
- sejje 12y agoThat's a really interesting theory. Improbable, but I like it.
