Hell, I’m convinced for a lot of things, they wouldn’t even need to trains decent developer.
My very first job was working with tech I was completely unfamiliar with and had really never touched as the lone developer. Yet, I managed to be productive very quickly in the short contract it was. Turns out that a lot of the programming languages and frameworks used in “real life” are pretty damn similar and it takes a little bit of reading the docs to be able to figure out.
Yet nowadays I can’t even get an interview because my resume isn’t plastered with talk of k8s and every other cloud/infra software the company used once.
