Fun fact: This meme is now old enough that you could have 8 years of Swift experience!
Nah, too much now. They want 8, 8+, 8 pro, or 8 pro max. They aren’t paying for 9 or any 9 time derivatives, not in the budget. The guy they finally found last year was recently let go.
Apple never made a 9 anyway. Its either 8 or 10+
It’s a tweet, not a meme
If it’s shared like a meme, it’s a meme - that’s literally the only qualification
They’re the same picture
My favorite is the guy who wrote a certain piece of software was told he didn’t have enough experience with it.
That would be Google and the guy is the homebrew dev. Or that could also be Guido van Rossum when he was asked if he had Python experience.
Fast api or something.

Tweet is six years old. Go for it.
5 years later and I’m finally qualified! Is the position still open?
Hey if they can write whatever they want than so can I, hell i have 30 years of swift experience
In the US at least they shouldn’t be asking your age during interviews.
They can ask to see if you’re too young. They simply can’t discriminate if you’re too old. Because young people can’t vote but old people vote religiously, so old people get the protections from lawmakers. But they can absolutely discriminate as long as they aren’t blatant about it, because proving it is virtually impossible.
Same way they aren’t allowed to discriminate based on marital status, but they can look to see if you’re wearing a ring during your interview. That one is particularly common in jobs that require a lot of travel; Interviewers will look for a ring, and almost never hire anyone who is married. Because if you have a family, you’re not going to last in the job as long as someone who is single with no local ties. Alternatively, an old tip for interviewing in office jobs is to wear a ring to the interview even if you’re single. Because an office position is more likely going to be looking for someone stable and needing to support a family.

Read the rest of the paragraph.
He isn’t too old. He’s overqualified.
Even blatant discrimination is almost impossible to prove.
Better get on building that time machine 😉
The requirements are more of a suggestion. In my experience recruiters have no clue what they’re even asking for, just apply anyway and recognize you need some experience in what they are asking about because it’ll come up in the interview
Happens all the time. I once applied to a job that required 5 years C# experience…in 2004. Needless to say I didn’t get the job. Mostly because I had only graduated in 2000 and apparently wasn’t experienced enough.
