Ah, the modern tech job posting—where companies want a single developer with the skills of seventeen specialists working for the price of one junior. The guy nails it perfectly. When recruiters list every technology under the sun—from three programming languages to multiple frameworks, databases, cloud services, DevOps tools, and system administration—they're basically asking for a unicorn who can replace their entire engineering team. After 15 years in the industry, I've seen job descriptions evolve from "Java developer" to "technical demigod who can single-handedly build, deploy, and maintain the entire digital infrastructure of a Fortune 500 company while also making coffee." And the best part? They'll still call it "entry-level" and offer you exposure instead of a proper salary.

The cloud revolution promised us scalability, high availability, and infrastructure as code. What we got instead was paying AWS $5000/month to run what could've been a $500 desktop PC under someone's desk. Remember when "scaling" meant buying another computer? Before we were sacrificing goats to the Kubernetes gods and writing 200-line YAML files just to deploy a simple app? Docker, Proxmox, Terraform - they've convinced us we need complex container orchestration when most companies barely have enough traffic to warm up a Raspberry Pi. Meanwhile, sysadmins who've been quietly maintaining reliable on-prem servers for decades are watching this circus with their arms crossed. The greatest trick the cloud ever pulled was convincing developers that managing your own hardware was too difficult... right before making them learn 47 new abstraction layers to do the same damn thing.
