    Those HR people who make the listing don’t understand most of it anyway.

      “I’m looking fora Data Analyst”

      “Gotcha, we put up an ad for Data Science”

      “No, Data Analyst, that’s diff-”

      “Here, we already got some applicants”

      “They’ll be very disappointed to learn that I’m not interested in their AI skills”

      It’s also ridiculous how often I see „Java“ instead of „JavaScript“ in job listings.

      Edit: Not trying to judge Java here, this is purely about recruiters not knowing the difference, posting jobs for Java devs when they need JS devs

        Maybe they have a ton of different machines and need an app that works in any environment?

        Agreed, why haven’t we killed java off? It’s terrible and there are replacements. At least with JavaScript it’s terrible but a monopoly.
