I can't help but feel that this job posting subtly reveals deep-seated ageism in the industry already knee-deep in fashioning and championing latest tech regardless of its merits when in reality these decisions and choices are rooted in tech-bros feeling inadequate and insecure, which also kind of exposes the reason behind a blatant lack of respect for what came before because being a thought-leader is a path way to being a 10x eng-influencer or something.

Not sure you can reach for ageism as the answer when "node" and "Ruby" are on that list. Over the past 5 years those have been two of the hottest bootcamp languages churning out resumes with those keywords on them. I'm shocked to see it, but I would say its more likely they are targeting bootcamp grads than older developers.

  And on the other hand they want Java, which is hardly a "latest tech".

    Fits with the bootcamp idea. Typical fresh-grad language.
