Run-of-the-mill startup seeks mediocre designer
You know what? Designers and programmers need to get over their (our) smugness. This type of "oh god we're so smart and oh god you are sooo dumb" thing helps nobody.
Out of curiosity, how do I hire a designer? How much does it cost? Where do I go? Who do I ask?
Is there any question as to the source of ignorance when clients are coming to designers to do work? I don't think I've ever seen a post with something like "so you're a lonely python hacker holed up in the back of a coffee shop staring into a shell...your website has functionality but looks like it was designed by the openbsd foundation? You want to hire a designer to make it look as good on the outside as it does on the inside? HERE IS HOW!"
Why have I seen so many posts talking about how completely ignorant and stupid the general population is, but not a single one trying to help them overcome this ignorance?
Sincerely,
Somebody who has absolutely no idea how to hire a designer even if he had the money to do so.
The only interesting job posting in years. Whether it's a joke or not they are pretty accurate in a cynically funny way.
We have huge, naïve ambitions to change the world. Like most start-ups, we'll probably be an abject failure.
Were I a web designer, I'd be tempted by this job posting.
Is a bit of cynicism and humor really that awful? I thought the last paragraph gave a very clear idea of the sort of person they're looking for.
This was posted previously, then subsequently became dead:
I'll only apply if I can get equity instead of a salary
Dunno if it's intended as one, but this would probably work very nicely as a honeypot for recruiters that spam resumes to every job posting on the web.
Just auto-ignore anybody who also emails the address in that posting.
What's wrong with <b> vs. <B>?
Their website doesn't load: http://amherst-networks.com
I shouldn't apply, since I tend to use semantic HTML markup.
