Ah recruiters. Several years ago I recall the story of one of the creators of a programming language who was asked how many years of experience they had with the language and the response "all of them" was perfect. I can't recall if this was Gosling/Java or Van Rossum/Python (or someone else entirely).

A similar and absurd story[1] I remember from last year:

"I saw a job post the other day. It required 4+ years of experience in FastAPI. I couldn't apply as I only have 1.5+ years of experience since I created that thing."
