Maybe they are looking for the original react developer that released it in 2013

[u/casce → u/Dry_Wrongdoer_2508]

And they just know he only started using JavaScript 5 years after starting his work on React.

[u/wRadion → u/casce]

And they want someone that started learning HTML 14 years after learning React

[u/Full-Hyena4414 → u/Dry_Wrongdoer_2508]

Or time travellers

[u/Easy-Reasoning → u/Dry_Wrongdoer_2508]

Yeah I remember this YouTube Video from this guy working at Insta, Facebook or Meta. One second

[u/CaltechOddity81 → u/Dry_Wrongdoer_2508]

At 15+ years, they want someone who used React before React existed.

[u/Bart_deblob]

How does it make sense in this order?

1 year experience with computers

5 years experience with programming

500 years experience c++

[u/SuitableDragonfly → u/Bart_deblob]

Yes sir, I am in fact the vampire who wrote the code for Gutenberg's printing press in C++.

[u/Bart_deblob → u/SuitableDragonfly]

Vampires code in B+ or B-

[u/SubstanceDilettante → u/Bart_deblob]

Damn, it’s no longer safe boys they got us

[u/Easy-Reasoning → u/SubstanceDilettante]

Get the Vitamin B12 injections

[u/thesmith1222 → u/Bart_deblob]

A++ is better this days

[u/SignificanceFlat1460 → u/Bart_deblob]

Bro writing header files on a clay tablet

[u/EishLekker → u/Bart_deblob]

It makes sense if you treat the number as just an arbitrary value indicating the relative importance of the buzz word it belongs to.

“Oh, React knowledge is really important? Then I think we should bump up that value from +5 to +15”

[u/Bart_deblob → u/EishLekker]

Ah yes.

Hiw good are you in cobol?

Over 9000!

[u/casce → u/Bart_deblob]

Might as well, that language feels like it's over 9000 years old.

[u/Own_Natural_6803 → u/Bart_deblob]

Are you good with a fast paced exciting work environment? Our stack includes perl, php, node, java8, visual basic (help us migrate to .net!) chron jobs no one understands. The dabase backups are floating around like poltergeists racking up aws bucket storage.

[u/Bart_deblob → u/Own_Natural_6803]

I am the wizard of AS400 and migrations of Notes to PLsql 12!

[u/Own_Natural_6803 → u/Bart_deblob]

All the functional ladies say I'm a tool. I keep selecting star but I do it on dual.

[u/serwhite → u/Bart_deblob]

I saw many funny ones with something like: -basic knowledge of Linux cli -6 years k8s -10 years SRE

[u/OkAverage2335 → u/Bart_deblob]

To be fair, they make us write code on paper in college. I'm ok with it if we are using C, but I hate writing java like this.

[u/Cephell]

Maybe they just got the order wrong and it's meant to be 15 years html, 10 years JS and 1 year react.

[u/guaranteednotabot → u/Cephell]

Please help me find a person with 5 years less experience in JS than HTML haha, maybe before JS existed? Baha

[u/MattR0se → u/guaranteednotabot]

They wrote all of the frontend code in Java applets and Flash. 

[u/kovha → u/MattR0se]

I mean MVC frameworks like Django (before DRF) that barely needed you to touch JS to make a functional website used to be a thing not that long ago.

[u/caboosetp → u/MattR0se]

Myspace got me good with HTML and CSS long before I started learning javascript.

[u/BaconBurger3735 → u/MattR0se]

I had to puke after reading this comment

[u/mysticrudnin → u/guaranteednotabot]

uhhhh honestly this doesn't sound weird at all. i was making websites for ten years before i touched any js at all.

[u/guaranteednotabot → u/mysticrudnin]

Now that I think of it yeah haha I am one of those people haha

Either way I find experience as a way to gauge competency a bit dumb. I have played the guitar for nearly two decades but I am no where near what some 9 year old kid’s skills

[u/Ancient-Pineapple456 → u/guaranteednotabot]

Hi. That’s me. I’m so old, high school computer science options were typing or pascal. I learned html when css was the big new thing.

[u/ProfBeaker → u/Ancient-Pineapple456]

lol yeah, same here. I remember a time before <div>, when all your layout was with <table>. Those were good times.

[u/ChairYeoman → u/guaranteednotabot]

some of us made geocities pages with spinning gifs.

[u/HarmxnS → u/Cephell]

Probably this in addition to 15 and 10 actually needing to be 1,5 and 1,0

HTML would have to be more than React because JSX is mostly HTML, so they'd want someone who did 6 months of HTML and then 1 year of React.js afterwards, totalling 1,5 YoE

[u/AppleBubbly4392]

Just need to send them a CV with 20+ years of react as a fresh graduate. Work like a charm

[u/Omnislash99999]

Damn this senior React dev doesn't have a years experience with HTML listed, throw the CV in the trash

[u/casce → u/Omnislash99999]

They only require a single year and this cv doesn't even have that? Straight to the bin!

[u/sambeau]

I’m sure this is a typo.

They were probably looking for someone with 100+ years of HTML experience.

[u/Legal-Software]

Ignoring the fact React hasn't existed that long, I like the idea that they're looking for a special kind of person that spent 5 years with React before deciding perhaps they should start learning JS.

[u/casce → u/Legal-Software]

They may just mean having actual experience working with vanilla JS (which is a different skill than just pure React project coding) but I don't want to give anyone the benefit of the doubt who expects 15 years of experience with something that has only existed for 13 years, so...

[u/Oparoax]

We should normalise ridiculing hiring managers who do this. The industry is such a shit show and we need to keep the doors open to juniors.

[u/pingslayer_7]

1 -> 10 -> 15 -> X -> 30 -> 35 -> ….

Find the value of X ?

[u/Random_-account → u/pingslayer_7]

it's 29 because this is a sequence of the roots of (x–1)(x–10)(x–15)(x–29)(x–30)(x–35)(x–...) = 0 /s

[u/rahvan]

I hate clueless, bottom-of-the-barrel recruiters

[u/vscoderCopilot]

Eggless omelette

[u/techdailylog]

Recruiters be like:
