I’m actually looking for a job and this has come up more than once.
I agree with you for the most part.
Docker isn’t all that difficult to use and I don’t even see why they bother asking. I just laugh and tell them, yeah, I know docker, along with being quite proficient in Linux in general and other deployment technologies. I don’t see the point of asking developers if they know docker. If you can learn to code, you can learn the basics of docker in 15 minutes.
React and frameworks are more specific and I can see why asking about those for developer roles is more appropriate.
AWS is so damn big at this point that I don’t know what they are really asking by just saying “AWS”. Sure, I know about the core AWS stuff, but I’m not proficient in really specific AWS CloudFormation templates or AWS IAM policies and stuff. And I’m not sure most developers outside of devops should be responsible for such a thing. For day-to-day software engineering, I shouldn’t need to touch the servers - that should be handled by a CI process and/or devops persons.
