Yeah, truth in that. I'm needing to write a couple more like this, this is the first one. Next one will be an job description for a DB guy with interest in databases in the broadest sense. Not sure how to go about that one yet.

I like the infographic idea, any other suggestions?

    select *
    from job_candidates
    where interest > 0
    order by interest desc

I am sure eitally was being sarcastic.

Also, why are you attempting to recruit people who are interested in a subject "in the broadest sense", as opposed to people who live and breath the damn thing?

Recruiting people of marginal interest and passing familiarity sounds like a recipe for mediocrity, imo.

Maybe my bad choice of words. In the "broadest sense" I meant that we're looking for a DB person who's interested in both relational DBs as well as the complete other side of the spectrum.

Still, I think a tongue in cheek infographic could be pretty cool as a job description. True, maybe not so much for databases.

Yep, but the infographic idea does sound fun. It might make more sense as a resume for a creative than a job posting, though.
