I recall back in 2010 I saw job postings looking for a minimum 5 years experience writing iOS Apps. Never mind that the iOS SDK was only two years old at that point. #sigh

A lot of those is "job openings" that translate seniority to years of experience

So the recruiter inputs "wants senior node.js dev" and the software outputs "10+ years Node.js"
