I was surfing a website and i saw this:  http://www.startuphire.com/search/details.php?job=73896

Since its a well known fact that LISP weenies don't shower, I think DIRTY JOBS should do a show about that company.  "YEA WE GIVE GAS MASKS TO ALL EMPLOYEES, LOL1"  But its made up for by the fact that LISP code is a hot mess to maintain and takes 10 times longer to code, thus being the language of choice for bureaucracies everywhere.

Except that Pepsi and Coke are largely the same: they both mean you're fat and unhealthy. Emacs and vi are significantly different, especially when it comes to working with Lisp code. I can see why they wouldn't want someone who intentionally does the most basic things in the hardest way possible. Plus, Emacs experience is a sign that you're a legitimate Lisper, since it's not like you can actually get anything done without it. Someone who claims to have Lisp experience but doesn't have Emacs experience is lying.
