I just got the following email from a recruiter:<p>"Viewed a resume on Dice. We are working with a client in Columbia, SC needing Rudy on Rails to assist them with an upgrade. This is a short term contract and the client is offering a telecommute option.<p>Would like to discuss the details. What would be a good time to call you?<p>Thank you, in advance, for your time and consideration. Looking forward to speaking with you."
I know we all love to trash recruiters and think they are an inferior life form, but maybe it was just a typo.<p>I learned about the Cobra programming language on HN <a href="http://cobra-language.com/docs/quality/" rel="nofollow">http://cobra-language.com/docs/quality/</a> and at first glance I thought it was some kind of joke on Python. But no, it's real enough.<p>Now ask a recruiter to find a Cobra programmer. He's going to run into Python developers who think he is an idiot. The recruiter doesn't know, maybe somebody created a new language called Rudy ( a ruby + d mix ?) and ported Rails.<p>Disclaimer: I'm working an an app where these guys would be my customers so I'm trying to see them in a positive light.
