> I remember seeing job posting for "entry level with x years in y technology" where x > 10 and y technology hadn't even existed 3 years prior.

This was common with Golang and is common with Rust now.

Also, a ton of Elixir/Phoenix jobs want unrealistic experience in the field.

We must be looking at the same openings. I am constantly surprised at the expectation that applicants have >1 or 2 years of production experience with Elixir & Phoenix (seemingly excluding Erlang from that experience as well).

Where are all these entry level Elixir jobs that these companies are banking their applicants having? It's hard enough just to find an FP position (around here anyway), but sure, let's make it even more specific.

I'm a Millenial. This was my reality starting out.
