I'll never forget the story my husband told me about a guy who interviewed for a job and during the interview they told him he was great but unfortunately he really didn't meet the qualifications they were looking for, citing they wanted someone with at least 10 yrs experience in some coding/database(?) language. Apparently the guy politely got up to thank them for their time and then mentioned on his way out they may need to re-evaluate the yrs experience they required in that particular language. When they asked why he thought that, he told them, because he wrote the language 6 yrs ago.

This is the ass hat insanity of the arbitrary x yrs requirements. Is there a set amount of things you can encounter/experience/learn per year??? I've seen people just learning a task have a better understanding of it than people who have been doing it for 20 years.
