New Happens a lot
I once responded to an ad looking for a C++ programmer with 8 years of experience in 1995. I phoned them up and told them that I thank maybe there are 4 people in the world with that qualification and they are likely all engaged at Bell Labs.
The average hunter gatherer works 20 hours a week.
The average farmer works 40 hours a week.
The average programmer works 60 hours a week.
What the hell are we thinking?

New I believe you
also when they want 10 years of Java, I wonder what drugs they were smoking when they made such a request? But then, I have seen people with resumes where they flat out lied about experience. There are actually people who claim to have 10 years of Java, 5 years of Windows 2000/XP, 3 years of Visual Studio.NET, etc. I wonder if HR approves of these people while throwing resumes of people who told the truth in the trash?

Best I can do is 5 years of .NET and related technologies (IIS, Visual Studio, Visual BASIC, etc).
I am free now, to choose my own destiny.

The only time I forgot to breathe I was on LSD, codiene, sangria, and whippets.
