When I see a job description that says "These are the tools we use,
but we care more about hiring good programmers who can learn than
about the specific language you know" I move that company to the top
of my list.  Not only because that's the kind of environment I like,
but because it tells me that the job description probably wasn't
written by an HR drone.
