So, RoR has been around for about three years, Drupal about five, and Amazon S3 launched at the beginning of 2006. I don’t know where you’re going to find a candidate with 8-10 years in any of these technologies, and I can only hope that you mean 8-10 years “Industry experience.” Dear Recruiters - Please try to understand the technologies you’re hiring for, how long they’ve been in the market, and what you can reasonably expect from your candidate pool. -j
