How does somebody get over the arbitrary "5-7 years work experience" hurdle if they are trying to get their first development gig? We all know it's boilerplate horseshit. To the HR zombies, it doesn't matter if you have a stunning portfolio and cut your teeth on open source projects over the years; you aren't getting an interview unless your resume matches all the keywords on their grep list because they have no idea how to qualify what they're looking for.
