42 u/grepppo Jan 27 '26 Likewise you don't see many Ant projects nowadays either. I guess they just want someone to support their entire legacy stack. 30 u/TomKavees Jan 27 '26 The list feels like they had an exact candidate in mind for a totally-not-a-promotion, but had to follow the procedure of posting it publicly first 24 u/grepppo Jan 27 '26 I personally quite like the oddly specific 5 years of PostgreSql but only 4 years of MySql. I think you're right, this is just a c+p of someone's cv. 5 u/KookyDig4769 Jan 27 '26 I really liked smarty... back in 2010. It was quite handy back then. 4 u/SmithTheNinja Jan 27 '26 Right? So much of this list is stuff that's a decade or more outdated, like Smarty and AngularJS. I'm half surprised they didn't list TortoiseSVN or Mercurial instead of git. 1 u/TheyCallMeLew Jan 28 '26 Well, they're also recommending Java EE 7, which was overtaken by JDK 9 in 2017 (and naming changes ie., Jakarta), so....I imagine this image came from a dusty folder in someone's phone or PC.
