I agree with a lot of these points. I hate how most job descriptions are written, a lot of people that want x years of language and y years of framework, which I think that should be relatively rare. What I want in a job description is "We work on X project with Y framework and Z back end", just say what you are working on and if I am interested in that. Then for the requirements make it X years of experience in domain, Y years of being a lead. Unless you are really needing that specific subject matter expert, having those requirements doesn't make sense. If I am hiring a senior developer for a Java position I don't really care if you have 5 years of Python, C#, C++, Ruby or whatever, but 5 years of backend experience could be helpful.
