The Actionscript Ninja

I should know better than to look for gigs on Craigslist.  The following is an example of the type of ads I dislike:

Actionscript Ninja needed

Flash Developer who is a rockstar at Actionscript (AS3 & AS2)! The person must be able to travel to Parsippany, NJ…

While I’m not interested in this gig (I’m not an actionscript developer) I have to wonder - when did we start calling developers “rockstars”?  Also, assuming such a thing exists, why would an Actionscript Ninja want to go to Parsippany?
