I thought it’s impossible to significantly enhance this collection, , at least with something similarly cyber-h4xx0r-zen-ninja-ish. , Well, , I am not so sure any more (via linkedin):

, Maybe with the Web2.0 bust (?), , popular clichés for uber-giga-great developers are fading out too - indeed, , who needs an old-fashioned web2.0 ninja (even if he’s a pirate in his free time) if you can hire a Web2.5 code terrorist to…. , umm… , get some coding done?!?

Update: The article was featured on hacker news and now it’s clear that Giles’s original article can be significantly extended, , for example with:

  • Python 3000 Jihadists
  • JavaScript Martyrs
  • Ruby Bionic Commando
  • Rails Black Magicians

and others… , check out hacker news if this is still not enough inspiration for you!

    , I have worked with “Code Terrorists” before. They are the ones who rewrite tests instead of fixing the failure, , check-in broken code, , edit code in production, , etc.

    , Did a Code Terrorist write that Captcha plugin you are using? There is that beautiful PHP error of “Can’t send headers because output already started at line…”

    , What is so wrong with having a little fun in coding and development… using fun descriptors instead of always saying expert senior level ruby developer with 2+ years experience that works well with a team. I would much rather be called a code ninja than a senior level developer… not all fun and joking has to go out of the work place, , long as you as you said ‘get some coding done’ put a bit of smiles in the work place while your at it.

    , @Jackson: wtf I am not using a captcha plugin??? Maybe some terrorists did sneak into the system indeed - web1.0 anti-terrorist naval unit investigating!

    , @Dan: I do find it immensely funny, , that’s why I posted about it. In fact I am LOLing since I found it. I think the folks commenting @ hacker news (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=386128) understood this - the Ruby Bionic Commando is fighting Python 3000 Jihadists and Javascript Martyrs over there…

    , @Jackson - are you an automated spambot (poetical)? I just disabled some archaic WP plugin which supposedly ‘Denies automated spambots access to your PHP-based Web site’.
