Why doesn't anyone ever want to hire a coding pirate?

Agreed, they may as well say "goon" or "minion." How about "software engineer" or "professional"?

Well, I guess with the crowd these guys are going for, maybe those terms don't really apply...

Don't you think the term "hacker" is overused today too? It seems like everybody and their mother is always "hacking" something.

"rock star" annoys the hell out of me
