#13The notion of putting the phrase "x+ years of technology y" on a job description always makes me roll my eyes. Some people have 2 years experience with say RoR, and could be lightyears ahead of another RoR dev who has 6 years experience. Is it so hard to say what you want: "we want a developer who is in the top 10% or top 40% in solving x kinds of problems?
The reason why this bone headed measure is used is because even the most elite coder on the planet does not have the required number of years experience, it helps managers keep salaries low. X years experience in Y is an HR trick.
