Another funny (or sad) thing - getting messages from recruiters with job recs saying you should have at least 5 years experience in Swift/React/whatever when the technology was just coming out.

Senior full-stack engineer with 25 years of solid experience in React, Elixir, and Rust running production stacks in the real world.
