But they do need k8 ... on their resume.

  I wish we were more willing to offer on-the-job training. But I've worked with too many people who claim to be Senior or Lead developers but can't actually explain what they do. I've been tempted a lot lately to try to think of a software team like a sports team. Coach, assistant coach, trainers, and physical therapists all about making you think about your abilities at a different, sometimes philosophical level. The Surgical Unit idea of Brooks has always bugged the hell out of me. I've known enough nurses to know that you don't want to put surgeons in charge of more than one life at a time and then only for a couple of hours, and letting them interact verbally with those people is a fucking disaster half the time. Not unlike some highly decorated software developers I know. They're brilliant as long as they don't actually have to help people. The head game in software has been overlooked for far too long and to everyone's detriment. Users as well as producers. If we had the training part right, this FOMO anxiety would be classed as a disorder.
