Geek Porn in Job Postings

Posted on August 15, 2007

Python Web Developer - Stanford University

My heart leaped out of my chest as I read this job posting. In every way I was feeling what could only be described as anticipation and euphoria. An excited state of mindless bliss as I grep’d the possibilities and envisioned myself in such a position. This job is pretty much the Nirvana of geek porn.

Benefits:

If you don’t understand what it is that gets me hot, it’s the data-mining and machine learning bits. We’re talking a HUGE database that is absolutely rich and thick with data. It is a hot super-model-turned-mega-porn-star. It’s data is so vast and overwhelming that it needs to be probed and massaged by an army of intelligent algorithms. It’s potential to excite and surprise is likely without bounds. Such a hot database would need a very strong, caring, and dedicated keeper.

Whoever gets this job will be an extremely lucky person.
