    Need 10 years experience in 1 year old tech

    Or

    Need 10 years experience in tech that stopped existing 10 years ago.

    Or

      The best one I saw was someone going for a job with a company that uses a particular platform stack. He didn’t get the job with the company saying you don’t have enough experience with said platform.
      Except he wrote the platform.
