The dev that built Ruby on Rails got turned down for a job where the requirement was using Ruby. On Rails for coding due to his lack of experience using it. LOL.

Yep, as with this one, they wanted someone with a chronilogically impossible amount of experience.
Like, they want someone to have been in presumably a bootstrap paradox time loop for 3 or 4 of those 10 years.

I’m going to guess this position is for a person already in the company but they are required to post a listing for it due to corporatism bullshit

My guess is VP McJorgen told HR he needs another senior dev with Claude code experience. HR specialist McSmitty pulls up the job description for senior dev, sees 10+ yr experience and makes the job listing, completely unaware of the age of the technology.

“Fortunately”, writing absurd, innacurate, vapid and mislesding job descriptions, as well as sussing out emotional weight of interview responses and asking a canned battery of questions…
Well, LLMs actually can do that about as well as most HR and recruiters can.

Or HR just doesn’t know what they’re talking about.
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 12 hours ago
You can always assume that HR has no idea what they are talking about.

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.

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.
TL;DR Report and pass

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.

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.

Ah yes, secure and maintainable hallucination of somebody else’s code.

Praise Claude! As in ten years, as ten years ago, from the beginning of time to the end of all days, Claude be. Claude be with you, co-author of all things; ask all unto Claude.

“Seeking a construction foreman to join our hammer powered construction crew.”
“Seeking a surgeon or join our scalpal powered surgical team.”
“Seeking. CPA to join our Excel powered accounting firm.”
This is how these kind of job postings look to actual candidates.

I think the use of ‘-powered’ in a job description is a clear indication that you are applying for a bullshit job.

This sort of requirement comes up in civil engineering all the time.
Your job may include running finite element models (FEM) and the office uses STAAD. When getting new candidates, the preference will be like this: those who have used STAAD, those who have used several other FEM programs, those who have used one FEM program, and those who don’t. Usually, it gets presented as requiring FEM experience with a preference to STAAD.
There may even be cases where a program may be different enough that the requirement is knowledge in that program. For instance, Bentley’s Open Roads is considered to be very different from AutoDesk Civil 3D to the point where Civil 3D experience only gets considered if there is no better applicant even though the two software packages do mostly the same thing.
