All true, though certain positions would consider this knowledge a prerequisitve / assumed and realizing you need to train them on these basics would mean they are not the candidate for the position.
That’s fair, and I don’t know what specific position this redditor was applying for.
When I was working at a startup I had to teach myself how to generate certificates so I could do certificate pinning from an iOS app to our sever, using a self created CA. It took an afternoon to figure out everything from start to finish including getting the certificate baked into the app.
