You Want How Many Years Experience?

[hyperman1]

It is weird how many things in this list are now 20+ years old that I've seen being the hot new thing that would solve all our troubles.

Truly, this profession does not learn from its own past.

And I feel old :-/

In case it's down, here's a remixed version (since it's using Glitch) https://pewter-winter.glitch.me/

It lists Logo and BASIC but not Pascal/Turbo Pascal or Delphi? I'm mildly disappointed.

Make a pull request.

HN killed it:

This project has received too many requests, please try again later.

Very cool, but minor ux nitpick: No need to have the select options in the dropdown when all of the options are already on the screen. The doubling of content is distracting from the experience.

well, Drupal is out for a long time but Drupal 6, Drupal 7 and Drupal 8 is different enough that your job experience in one might not be particularly relevant for others...

Seems at least some inaccuracy: Rust has been out for 3 years

Rust was originally released in 2010.

Anybody spot any others?

I assume you're already aware, but Rust hit 1.0 in May 2015. The further back before that, the less it resembled the Rust we have today; there were some major differences in early Rust (green threads, a heap-pointer operator, etc.). I don't think it's a stretch to say that no Rust job today actually requires Rust experience that dates back further than 1.0, and any job description that requires that likely was written by someone who doesn't know what they're talking about.

I'm sure Hadoop is older than 7 years.

Feeling old.

Good old Personal Home Page...

Brilliant:

> Lisp has been out for 60 years

[soufron]

I wonder if there are people who have been coding LISP for 60 years? A few names might come to mind.

Python 1 is 28 years old??

[digisign]

I remember learning on 1.52? around the turn of the century.

"Angular has been out for 2 years" Oh?

[bitlax]

What do you think they're getting wrong? Are you counting the alpha period or AngularJS?
