they should also ban web developers who refer to themselves as ninjas, especially code ninjas

Ah yes, I've spent decades cringing when I meet a self-proclaimed or even peer-proclaimed "rockstar", "ninja", "guru", "jedi", or probably a half dozen other "cool" designations for a tech worker.

What if you do it ironically? Like calling yourself a Code Ninja Jedi 10x Rockstar 🚀?

Bullshit. This started long ago. We're deep in the midst of it now.

Ninjas, super-heroes, black-belt and terms like that are known gender-excluders. I’ve been through a couple of adjustment sessions for company standard job descriptions and it’s unreal how you can change the applicant mix by wording.
