Perhaps grumpiness has got the best of me this morning, but this is at least the second time that I've seen the "Our office is too big -- we need some badass hackers to fill it up", job posting on HN and something about it grates me the wrong way.

First, the formatting is brutal. It is possibly a markup language I simply don't recognize – but then, neither does HN. The different roles blend into each other, the spacing is all uniform removing any visual grouping.

Second, the content is childish. It screams (to me) of either unprofessionalism or fake-cool. What's "TONS" of experience? What does "physically live at a ton of smb's" mean? Are you saying the product is already in use by a lot of business that hire mostly fat employees? What's an "extremely small core dev team"? 1? Scaling "really big stuff"? Like a mountain? Finally, the salary description includes "blah blah blah".

Here's a writing tip, words that end in
