After a good number of years working on MVC-structured environments and thinking to myself, "Oh, well this could be done with fewer files and less structure" it finally dawned on me why MVC is a good rule for everyone to follow.  

Taking away all the good arguments for establishing MVC structure, the one that sticks out the most is, if everyone's doing it then looking at a new codebase will make a ton more sense.

Of course, as is usually the case, I come upon this epiphany through real-world experience, by painfully and tediously sifting through non-MVC'd code, I have finally truly seen the light.  Amen.

I'm guessing that the company that originally posted this internship wasn't offering much in the way of compensation.  Whoever posted this is very tapped into his/her emotions.

http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/cpg/2874137527.html

The whole thing, in case CG decides to take it down:

This is a hardcore internship for serious programmers who are willing to get $#!%faced from being overworked. We don't want any f--king pussies or cocksuckers, so if you are some dumb$#!% with sand in your second vagina, go take some Viagra and f--k yourself. Better yet go work for f**king Google where they offer happy endings every five f--king minutes or that giant c**t Microsoft where they teach you how to take it up the a$$ with a f--cking Happy Meal on your face. The way I see it, if you want to wake up one day feeling like you have been f**ked harder than a lubricated sock in prison, well, you have some serious issues and no one can save you.

Requirements for consideration:

-You must be proficient in: C, Java, Ruby, PHP, Python, Perl, Javascript, Lisp, Prolog, Haskell, and x86 assembly language
-Know what these terms mean: REST, CRUD, MVC, XSS, CSRF, and Agile development
-At least six years of experience as a web programmer
-Demonstrated ability to work in a team
-Able to meet impossible deadlines
-Willing to work 24 hours days
-Have No Life


it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests
Compensation: You are an intern so go f--k yourself!

 

Talk about palpable anger!

Someone tweeted that regarding the closing of Palm's hardware unit. That sums it up quite nicely.

The one thing that alway comes to mind when I spot these magical keywords is this:
