if only my boss was this cool

The following is from NullSoft’s Developer website (maker of the wonderful WinAmp). These guys rule (rather, they “kick the llama’s ass”). Amidst dot-com turmoil, they got rich on a handy little utility that works as it should. AOL-TimeWarner (warning: this is one of those incredibly annoying sites that doesn’t let you use the back button in your browser) owns them and probably doesn’t even know it.

Enjoy their amusing call for new employees:

Yes, it’s true. Nullsoft is hiring. We need someone to bolster our developer relations team. What does this mean? Well, aside from plowing our fields and trimming our nose hairs, our new recruit would get to write official Nullsoft plug-ins both for us and for tutorials for the poor starving plug-in developing masses. You would get the power to make direct changes to the Winamp API’s and serve as another liaison to our coding brethren. Check out the following prerequisites.

  1. Thou shalt have experience with Winamp plug-in and/or Win32 development.
  2. Thou shalt be willingest to movest toest the Sanest Franciscoest Areast.
  3. You kan talk en rait gud, nat laik us. (Excellent expository and documentative writing skill.)
  4. Must be able to instantly learn any game after a quick 50 hour warmup.
  5. Must be able to speak, read, and write in 1337, but saves it for special occasions, like Canada Day.

  11. Must not EVER use “finger quotes”.

If you think you’d make a good fit, send your resume to nsdn@winamp.com.
