Does anyone else get really annoyed by people calling themselves "Ninja" or "Rockstar"?

lacifitra · Nov 30, 2018

For some unknown reason, it's particularly infuriating to me when I see job descriptions or headlines like "Python Superstar", "WordPress Ninja" or "React Rockstar". It's... not really childish, but it comes across as extremely naive and unprofessional, right between "uuuh... I don't really know what I'm doing but I'd like to stand out" and "Look how geeky I am!"

I instantly imagine some tiny guy with massive glasses and hipster beard whose entire portfolio consists of To-Do-List Apps.

Those guys for sure aren't Fujibayashi Nagato or Jim Morrison, I'll tell you that much.

What's your thought on weird Karate belt levels for corporate courses. Six Sigma Black Belt for instance.

Its really not surprising that millennials are not able to do business with common sense, they have trouble just being able to name their children.

I've have never come across it. However what I do find cringey as fuck. Is people who make comments on Facebook followed by a string of crying laughing emojis. Like as though they are really funny.

My thoughts on that are: They're either trying to pick up the youth or their marketing team is full of Buzzfeed guys.

It definitely is cringe, started sometime in 2010 but started really taking off recently. The old devs despised those terms, the new devs love it for some reason.

I know what you're getting at, when they start using 3-5 of those it's just this in my head:

What’s your problem? They are the best!

Could be worse. Could be calling themselves crypto investors / traders.

ROFL is most widely used lie.
I dont think even 1% who writes is actually rolling on the floor.

I think it's used because start ups don't pay people enough nowadays so they try and attract young people with status titles. ie. instead of "Customer Service" you are a "Customer Happiness Expert" (still a shitty customer service job)

Chances are, they don't know what they're fucking doing.

If only they didn't have Ninja in their name.

Teenage Mutant Rockstar Turtles

Does that sound right to you?

Not to me.
