Just got asked "How much experience do you have with the current JavaScript standards? I'm talking ES6 and ES7" in an interview with what I assumed were technical people.

I chuckled and said "I'm comfortable with ES8" as a joke but everyone just nodded and moved on..

"I'm comfortable in es8 and am starting to learn es9 and 10"

*nods* "okay sounds great!"

"I've been using node version 8.9.0 for 10 years now"

"impressive!"

Not surprising, they are just buzzwords to them.

And this is why the HR drones hire jackasses

"we're looking for someone with 10 years of angular and React experience, who is also a junior level developer and has hands on experience with Java, C#, HTML, C++, COBOL, and AS400, who can write an iAndroid app for us to sell on our WordPress site and be done in 3 months. Pay is 12.50/hr with no benefits and you need to start last Tuesday."

@AshMountDigger that's how i feel in my job..I get less pay though

"7 years of experience with React.JS"
