Lmao 
I’m so late to this thread but I laughed more than I have in a very long time!!!
Hahahahahaha
Omg, where to begin? First the laundry list of skills the OP really expects a single human being to be proficient in, then the responses 
@frankophone I don’t need to respond to you! I dont scream Run! you must not respond to everything. Its not a shame to say I dont know it but I know A to B but I dont know C to Z why on earth are you guys writing what cannot earn you anything rather than shaming your so called I am developer, in this 21 century, I posted state of the art technology skills that needed to be known and I was looking for and you come up to write whatever you feel because you know how to write?
I don’t need to define myself before you. Or anyone! I just believe you guys have a long way to go in life if at all you are in the IT industry.
it’s a Radar thing. you’re not the first person to complain of such and hopefully you won’t be the last. your best advice is linkedin to get developers unless you have Wordpress jobs for people here. my 2 cent
Hahahah, No wordpress job man, that is for non IT guys!

Lol all these beasts in form of humans here to devour and prey on innocent startups trying to create something, It’s a shame we’d never stop seeing stuffs like this,most of what people learn from here is only to stay behind the screen and try sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo hard to be negatively stupid.
If you re a developer and you seem to find that skills list long? You’re still like all these upcoming artists paying 2500 for instrumentals and releasing mixtapes only family hears, you need to up your game for your own sake, and you’re not even ashamed to voice it out in public,lets assume you even know them,and feel the post defiled something in you,who told you that you’re going to do the entire job? or get under-paid? , what i normally do when i see things i don’t know but is needed by a client or turns out to be the best stack to get a solution engineered from adequate research is to run a week’s self-tutorial and use the stack for the project to obtain even better hands-on experience and trust me, i do not do shitty work,ever! , one good quality of a programmer is ability to adapt to a new tech quickly and easily, ability to shape-shit and channel your skills to learn newer skills,if you can’t do that,you will give up on programming soon, SureBet!
**TO ALL OTHER STARTUPS WHO WILL READ THIS ,I’M WARNING YOU, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SELF SUFFICIENT WILL POWER TO IGNORE/FILTER PESSIMISTS OR ATLEAST TRY TO USE THE CRITICSM TO YOUR ADVANTAGE ,DO NOT ,I REPEAT DO NOT ATTEMPT TO POST YOUR START UP ON RADAR,IT’S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS! WHY? **
**1.YOU WILL EMOTIONALLY OR INTELLECTUALLY BREAKDOWN **
2.YOU WILL BE DISORIENTED AND OUT OF FOCUS FOR AT LEAST 2WEEKS TOPS
3.IF AN INVESTOR GOOGLES YOUR START UP TO SEE ALL THESE BEASTS FEASTING ON YOU,HE WILL NOT INVEST
4.YOUR TEAM WILL DEVELOP DOUBTS
5.SEVERAL UNKNOWN DAMAGES MIGHT OCCUR.
BUT YOU CAN STILL POST AT YOUR OWN RISK.

But what does Java development have to do with HTML5, AngularJS, Material Design and Responsive Design?
@Diakon are you really a developer? HTML5, AngularJS are just to be for your font end design!
Well I am not discourage with what we are doing and thank God development is ongoing!
Thanks

And they are doing it with their real Identity!!!.
Oh Lord, please help your creations.
They truly have a long way to go.
A wise man once said: "when a wise man speaks, only a wise man listens.
@JohnEnoh I think you should not responding in plain English. These people already understand things that way. You should instead respond in metaphors. That way, they will start “thinking!”.
@prostakes I think people also need to learn to respond to perceived criticism gracefully, rather than making ad hominem attacks left and right. Then they can truly be innocent “victims” and not view ever question as “discouragement”. 
@JohnEnoh you may need to polish up on expressive skills, or else we know whenever you say “Java” , you actually mean “and everything else”.
But this won’t be weird if it were required for a PHP developer or a Node developer,anyway heard of thymeleaf its a Java related and also relates with theming would you say this belongs to a designer.
Where do you expect the backend to deliver its content to??, if there is no frontend!!
Try to buy a car without an engine, and see if it will work.
And If it doesn’t, please kindly purchase the engine and put it in.
Strictly speaking, the requirements aren’t much as there are redundant items on the list.
Like I told @JohnEnoh once on another thread (or maybe this one), the issue is the presentation & not the requirements.
Let me take a stab at condensing this:
One possible refactoring could be:
- Front-end development (HTML5, Javascript & CSS)
- Java
- PostgreSQL
- Frameworks: Querydsl, AngularJS 1.5, Spring 4
- RESTful API / REST API
Knowledge of the Meta-Programming & Aspect-Oriented Programming is also required.
-
With Spring, Java knowledge is implied just as Rails implies Ruby knowledge. Also, any good Java dev can get comfortable in Spring in days.
-
If you use Spring, you work with JPA.
-
PostgreSQL is a popular RDBMS, so even if you work mainly MySQL, if you’re any good you shouldn’t have issues working with PostgreSQL. Also in this case, JPA would do most of the plumbing for you.
Querydsl is a convenience, but if they deem it important, then it is important. -
With your Spring knowledge, if you’ve been developing in this day & age, chances are high to certain that you know how to create REST APIs. Even if you don’t, if you’re good you can get up to speed in a day.
-
If you do Java, it’s a given that you know OOP.
-
If you do (or have done) front-end development, you know HTML5 & Javascript (ECMAScript 5.x especially as it’s the most popular version around & it’s what majority of Javascript devs know).
-
You may not be an AngularJS dev, but you should have little/no issues if you know enough Javascript & understand how the plumbing works.
8a. Responsiveness is something you get out of the box from many CSS frameworks e.g. Bootstrap.
8b. You may not know Material Design principles, but there are frameworks for that. I used one of them for Moview & I still don’t know the principles cover to cover. So, these two could be bundled under CSS.
Skill levels in each of the needed areas can be determined at interviews.
Notes
- Ability to see that the list can be shorter than it is could also be something one could look out for in an interview.
- You might want to hire different people for front-end & back-end development to get the best in each specialization.

Lol yours makes it look harder but at least you understand that it’s not out of place right ? People on radar don’t take time to think before jumping into conclusions and what’s more annonying are comments from people who have no knowledge about what’s being posted.
Sigh.
I give up bro. You win. Here’s your cup.

lol when they hear Java they think of either a Service running or a Swing application or Console application, am guessing some are still shocked Java has the Servlet part that returns a response. even Themelyf would be hard for a designer despite being related to frontend but it’s still Java. not everyone is familiar with Spring MVC
Its not about winning or losing. We are all winners.
Please read these.
From the my previous comment.
This is one of the best written technical job ads I’ve seen here on Radar, and I’m a strong critic of tech job ads. I think the amount of ignorance displayed on this thread is shameful. The Job requires three basic skills that any Full-Stack developer should have (Backend: Java, Frontend: JavaScript and Database: PostgreSQL), so what’s the fuss about?
The OP decided to be detailed on what methodologies and framework he’s using and just because it’s heavily worded everybody just think it’s requesting a lot.
Number of words in job ads is not the same as number of skills required.

That’s the same reason why you’d make silly comments without reading the original post.
