Thank you for pointing that out. I've just edited my job posting [0] after reading this to include salary and say it's based on experience/market and not negotiation.
At many companies, the offer is made with no negotiation on the table. I suppose some of this is posturing, but the companies acting on good-intent are saying "no negotation -- because we know this is a good/great rate for your experience in the current market".

What does “experience” encompass?
For example most of the companies dismiss my seven years of open-source contributions (it's — at best — a nice bonus). They don't care about anything that isn't what they call “industry experience”.
Hiring managers/recruiters may filter those out, but I think if you're talking to an engineer, they can kind of discern whether those open-source contributions are meaningfully equivalent to yoe. I was working as a software engineer up until I started the company, so it's 100% meaningful signal to me!
