Re: Sounds like a bigoted, stereotyping git to me @Jimmy
Not the best way to attract the kind of people you obviously need, resorting to passive-aggressively offensive stereotyping of your target employees.
Yes, quite.
I had, perhaps mistakenly, though we'd put this sterotype to bed back in the dot com boom.
Pay attention MBAs: The guys [1] driving about in the flash motors, enjoying far flung vacations, while making out with sooo many girls; that's us, the IT geeks. Well, it was, before I got married and settled down anyway.
Why? Well, because while training for a marathon takes about three months of evenings (I've done a few) and literally anyone can do it, training to understand code architecture, networking, etc etc takes years and a good deal more intelligence. We're smarter than you, better educated, we earn more, and we enjoy better lives.
"..specky, geeky kids hacking in their bedroom" Sure, I have glasses, so you've got me there. But the rest of it? Suck. My. Balls.
I'll still come work for you at the BoE, but only if I can't find any real work to do, and now I'm going to charge you 20% more.
[1] Guys, girls, whatever.
