You, sir, said the above beautifully and truthfully. I recently (last year) suffered through the same thing. Ever notice the faults in some of the job postings? 5-7 years experience with a tool that has been out for 3 years? Funny. Or my favorites: DevOps... what a joke. Any good sysadmin, especially *nix, should be able to write shell scripts well, at least using Bash, maybe some Perl and Python. But no. I recently saw a posting for a sysadmin job in Houston where no one would have qualified. They wanted the candidate to have 10+ years of C# systems programming experience! For a sysadmin job. Not many sysadmins with those skills are still sysadmins. In addition, they wanted nginx, Apache, IIS, MySQL, MS SQL, Docker, Kubernetes, and many others. Very few people know all of that in one go.
From the job description, one can surmise they wanted a developer for the price of a sysadmin. No thanks.
