  Have you even seen the bullshit job listings in the USA?

  5 years experience required for a programming language that had only even existed for 2 years comes to mind…

    If this is the level of bullshit on the job listing, do you actually want that job?

    If yes: if they’re bullshitting, why don’t you?

      I have soldering experience going back ~25 years. Why bullshit on a new language rather than just go in with examples of my soldering and electronics skills?

        To me, that job listing is a red flag and I’d not want to have that job if the bullshit is starting before I even apply. It’s probably only going to get worse if that’s the start.

        If I really did want the job, and I knew they were outright bullshitting, I’d not feel bad about bullshitting them back.
