Montreal - PHP/MySQL Developer

Adult company, many positions available. High traffic, lots of new products, different areas, including credit card processing. Don't do one thing, do many things.

Edit: Downvoted, I imagine, because it's an adult company. If you downvoted this, at least you can have the guts to explain why?



I would guess that it may have been seen as a joke.... "adult company"..."many positions available"... April Fools... Just a guess :)


That's fairly observant. Considering another post in this thread talked about joke posts. sigh And I was serious.


I'm guessing the initial downvotes are by anti-porn crusaders, and the subsequent downvotes are because you complained about being downvoted.


Actually, I had -3 downvotes before complaining. As for complaining, I think it's valid in this case. I hate meta discussion as much as anyone else, but in this case, downvoters are imposing their views on others, and impacting those people from finding jobs.

Basically, I don't care about the karma, but I honestly do feel that the downvotes were against the idea of HN.

Plus, I'm sick today, and rather ornery.


It could also be that there's a lot of hate for PHP on Hacker News for various reasons. Not saying that it's justified, though.


I guess it's not hate, it's just that it's considered NSFW.


I think it was the assumption that it was a joke (as another commenter pointed out) based on what was written. Nothing about the post was NSFW, including the link. In fact, if anything in the post was NSFW, then the problem lies with the place of work, not me.


Facebook doesn't seem to have too much trouble attracting talent. (Personally I have little interest in working there, but PHP is only a small part of why.)
