FWIW, I didn't have an opinion on the OT job posting because I didn't read it. But I must add that, it would be hypocritical to *not* poke fun at companies, especially bumbling, incompetent, soon to be extinct lumbering dinosaurs, (that don't do much beyond pooping all over the techworld) such as Yahoo! and ThoughtWorks! (see what I did there?) Now if Anand's or your self-image was so tied to your place of employment that it would send you into a deep depression that someone made fun of it, then I'd probably be disheartened (since that wasn't my intention) but that wouldn't stop me from doing it. We really should have fewer holy cows that are too sacred to be made fun of. Especially fat, methane producing ones like Y! and T! Olé!
