I've had to lobby to remove several minimum requirements from my company's job listings because, at most, they're a wish list of the perfect developer to walk in the door. And they never do.

"And the candidate's name must be Carl because Carl just left, and PMs really got used to calling the Angular person Carl."

You joke, but one place I worked had just fired another "asciimov" for the role i took. The first week I was there, they kept asking if I had another name they could call me as they didn't like the former guy and calling me by name, "asciimov", bothered them.
