I was inspired to look up the job description of being a ninja:

The functions of the ninja included espionage, sabotage, infiltration, assassination and guerrilla warfare.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ninja

Interestingly, western culture glamorizes the hell out of ninjas but it seems like they had a pretty sleezy rep at the time:

Their covert methods of waging irregular warfare were deemed dishonorable and beneath the samurai, who observed strict rules about honor and combat.[

This dev ninja culture had started from php as far as I remember. Such methods and reputation are quite normal for php πŸ˜‚

I don't think I would ever apply to a company looking for ninjas, gurus or "brilliant" devs. I can't imagine working with people that really thought that about themselves.
