    This is a problem across industries. The programming joke of a job requiring ten years experience in a five year old language is funny because it’s true.

      that’s just their point tho. it’s not true. it’s a fiction fabricated by bourgeois people so they can pretend it’s common people not wanting to work rather than them not being willing to invest in the “poors.” they need to not upset the working class while they rape us because the moment we become aware is the moment we throw them off top of us.

      you live in a world where these people’s feelings are more important than your livelihood, at least in the company ledger. software dev is a great example of this. the industry isn’t some wild animal who randomly thrashes about. software and IT falling apart are active processes spurred by choices people who hold keys to the kingdom(s) are making, knowingly. every time some homeless developer gets thrown in jail because it’s literally criminalized to be unhoused here - that’s the system working as intended.

        No, it is true. Companies got sued because they brought in H1-B visas because no domestic worker could meet the impossible job requirement. So they get a slave who has to keep their job or be deported.

        Jobs that are entry level and require years of experience are common.

        And, yes, the assholes in charge are doing this.
