Title: 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.<p>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.<p>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".<p>Here's a writing tip, words that end in "ly" can normally (see what I did there?) be removed. Drop the "ridiculously", "incredibly", the two "extremely"'s in the same phrase.<p>As a final thought, since you have posted this more than once, why not experiment with different formats/content and figure out what works best. Maybe I'm wrong and your format is attracting exactly who you are hoping it is. However, in my experience, people stick to a very specific employing process and never experiment/tweak – even though it's actually something where the impact of variations can be measured quite easily.
