No doubt. The issue is a systemic one. Job descriptions and requirements that are written by HR, or people in leadership who have no sense of what the production landscape for a developer looks like.

It's so common it's become a meme. The Junior role that requires 4 years experience. The job description that, like you said, includes knowing C# And Swift to such an extent that you can create apps from the ground up on both platforms.

It's maddening, and is the root cause of the issue we see today where there's a massive amount of junior and mid level folks looking for jobs.
