Will Kubernetes Collapse Under the Weight of Its Complexity?

I'd say this goes both ways. You have companies asking for the impossible that won't interview you otherwise, this will create an incentive to deceive. I'd say HR is at fault here for asking for 10 years experience in everything, instead of just looking for software engineers that have good fundamentals and can learn.

I once applied for a job writing tools for embedded programmers that said they want experience in Angular, React, SPAs whatever. I'm working in embedded systems, so obviously 99.9% of people haven't even touched web apps, never mind the modern technologies. I actually got to the interview (despite no deception), because I knew someone working there. They said they actually don't have a single web app and are doing everything in C# (on desktop), and were thinking about making some web apps.

They still don't have any web apps.

I am pretty OK with a little subjective exaggeration, like if someone is at least competent/proficient and describes themselves as “expert”... well, who’s to say? But spending literally 2 minutes clicking a GUI then adding another skill to your CV is breathtaking audacity.
