      I remember my wife looking for a web dev position in early 2015 and at one place they were adamant that 5 years of HTML5 in experience was mandatory.

      Wikipedia says:

      On 28 October 2014, HTML5 was released as a W3C Recommendation,[32] bringing the specification process to completion.

      Edit: I know the spec was a work in progress since 2008 but it’s still kind of a ridiculous requirement. To put it in to perspective, my wife’s class was the first year that they trained on Html5 instead of 4.

        Wikipedia also says:

        HTML5 was first released in a public-facing form on 22 January 2008,[2] with a major update and “W3C Recommendation” status in October 2014.

        5 years of HTML5 in 2015 was possible. It wasn’t final, but the browsers started implementing it.

        She could just have held 5 relevant part time jobs at the same time for a year. Boom, 5 years experience in a years time. Resume math
