I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
Fully agree. Sometimes it's hard for us to communicate the nuance in a job listing, but yes, we are looking for help in different parts of the stack and you don't have to be an expert in everything.
If you ever look at a job spec and think "should I apply", the answer is always yes.
If your immediate reaction isn't "oh shit, I don't know any of what they're asking for" - apply.
Worst case - you don't get the job.
Good case - you learn something from the interview process.
Best case - you get the job.
It’s my own experiences, so not a one size fits all, but I wrote about this a while ago if you’re interested.
