maybe they mean 12 with base 3, that would be 5 decimal years ;-)

#12Seen this so many times in my LI feed and people point out that kubernetes wasn’t even out 12 years ago.
So that’s the joke of course but to make this even more sweeter I’d point out that even Go wasn’t publicly available. Wikipedia mentioned that first remarks about Go where from 2009 :)

How about, apply for jobs even if you don't have the skills they are asking for.

#16This sounds like 4-5 years longer than Kubernetes has existed, and is definitely in the 40+ aged senior developer sphere. And at the same time they're busy doing damage control on multiple accusations of age discrimination against older employees. Bra-vo.

K8s was originally written in Java, and then ported over to Go.

These sorts of inflated requirements disproportionally discourage women and other underrepresented minorities.

Because id rather apply to a job at a company that pays enough respect to write a useful and information rich job description before asking me to spend time researching them, writing a cover letter, and tailoring my cv to highlight relevant experience for their needs.

Correct. Years of experience requirements are there to filter out people who aren't confident in their skills and keep them from even applying.
Though I did get bounced later in a hiring process because my "total years of experience didn't qualify for the amount we require for this level of job".
