B Yeah there was a guy who made a type of code, sold it, and then couldn’t get a job working on his own code because everyone did this wanting 5+ years on something released a month prior.
It’s so they can have job listings out and be able to claim the jobs exist for clout while ensuring no one will take/get the position.
They do it with all kinds of things, and then either say you don’t have the experience or if you play their game and say you have the experience they call you overqualified.
Lots of those job listings have less connection to the actual department that’s recruiting than would be expected. Lots of room for miscommunication and also just bullshit.
Claude Code is an agentic command line tool released in February 2025 that enables developers to delegate coding tasks directly from their terminal using natural language prompts.
Or they’re intentionally making it impossible for someone to meet the reqs so they can give someone internal the job or so they can take the opening offshore and pay someone drastically less for the same position.
Eh… What… Claude didn’t exist 10 years ago. This is one of the reasons managers hate HR, they don’t beep so can’t hire the talents they need.

TL;DR Report and pass

Good thing he accented the lines with emojis, it really kept me engaged!
Ruby on Rails dude got denied a Ruby on Rails job
Microsoft talked with the dev of AppGet to make winget, but refused to hire him.
Yeah, did they mean 1 year? lmao.
Probably just copying job reqs and not thinking. 10 years experience as a dev. 10 years with tool X. Copy, paste, change tool to Claude. Done.

They don’t need impossible requirements to do that.
