- switch33 13y agoLol, this is probably the reasoning.
- muench 13y agoAgile is only 12 years old [1], so it might be related to the old programmer joke about HR posting job ads that require 'x' years experience with 'y' year-old tech, for some x > y. But that's grasping at straws, and if that is the intention it's a really unfortunate way of putting it.

- fingerprinter 13y ago"agile methodologies" are certainly not only 12 years old. The Agile Manifesto coined the phrase "agile" in 2001 (read your link wikipedia page), but the ideas were around long, long before this.
- MaysonL 13y agoThe joke is actually only funny for x > y ;-)
- muench 13y agothanks, you're right. edited it now. I'd claim that I subconsciously 'corrected' it, but let's be honest: what good would a post about a typical HR error be without a typical programmer error!
- justinY 13y ago500friends founder/CEO here. Look at my team - 500friends.com/team. Most people are who you may consider to be "old." And we wouldn't be where we're at without them. We do not discriminate against age.
