I got a lot of chuckles from Ada. Back when the Sunday Boston Globe was 
the go-to for jobs instead of LinkedIn there would be ads for Ada 
programmers with two years of experience. At the time there wasn't a 
working Ada compiler. HR never changes.

As for the current hoo-haw there were also ads requiring all sorts of 
experience with low ball salaries from companies angling for H-1B 
exemptions. 'We advertised and didn't get any applicants.'
