Tech stack versus what a company's looking for in an interviewee.

For instance:

Nice! Thanks for the feedback, it's really helpful :)

Where do you get this idea from, are you a recruiter?

I'm not a recruiter, but I was interviewing recently and I liked it when postings/recruiters expressed the fact that "Experience in X is a must", "We're language-agnostic but use JS frameworks", etc.

Verbiage like "Backend: Python, Kotlin, Java, Rails", etc was misleading because I couldn't tell what exactly they used in their day to day.

Thanks for getting back to reply. You have no idea how helpful this kind of comments are, as are real life experiences :)
