How To Find Bad Programmers

AmberShah writes "The job post is your potential programmer's first impression of your company, so make it count with these offputting features. There are plenty of articles about recruiting great developers, but what if you are only interested in the crappy ones?" I think much of the industry is already following these guidelines.

... if they're making that functionally impossible by requiring it in a non-print safe non-vendor neutral format, it shows they don't understand such issues...

I really hate to be a grammar Nazi, but here I feel I must. What you just described is a format which is safe (for non-print) and neutral (among non-vendors). If you want to turn a phrase into an adjective, you need a hyphen between the words, and if you want to add a non, that's another hyphen. It's the difference between a non-French language teacher (who could not come from France) or a non-French-language teacher (who teaches a language other than French).
