    I get it: "then", "than", "there's", "there are". Stop reading (and I did), it can't be coherent.

    Huh? Could you specifically quote where you found this incoherent for those reasons? I fear you've confused the heck out of me here.

    Edit: even stranger, that post was at 10:38 PM before the article released. wha?

    I'm sorry to say there isn't a big enough facepalm emoticon for the current state of job advertising in our industry. You're competing with employers looking for the most bang for their buck, HR firms/departments who know as much about tech as most techies know about oil rig equipment, local laws regarding job duty requirements, Visa (not the credit card) Renewal laws, and consulting/hiring firms who know more buzzwords then technology. They've had more practice at this then you probably have, and it can be difficult figuring out what's good and what's not.
