I see these everywhere.

If I don't a degree and been coding only for 5 years, should I apply?

Yes! Chances may be slim but why not?

You'll learn something from every interview. Even if you don't get the job.

I assume ppl write these descriptions with at least some point. I often hear employers complain about tons of unqualified candidates, same as recruiters send me tons of mismatching listings. So I'm thinking maybe if we both consider job description meaningful, we could somewhat avoid this

What's the cost of applying? Usually nothing besides the time it takes.

What's the benefit of applying? Potentially getting the job.

What's the benefit of not applying? Not spending the time on applying.

What's the cost of not applying? Definitely not getting the job.
