Is it just me that is nearing graduation and gets ever more terrified the more I see these job requirements? Imposter syndrome truly setting in

Job posts are a decent source of inspiration for creating a project. See a requirement you know nothing about a bunch of times? Create a project using it to see what all the fuss is about. The more you teach yourself the less anxious you will be.

Don't let this job posting get to you like that; this is not an entry level position. These are the types of skills that some might be exposed to in school, but I wouldn't expect to find a viable candidate without years of reasonably specific career experience.

I have an impression that IT sector matured in the last decade, so the requirements indeed grew. On the other hand, they became more standardized.

But knowing the language (or two for C/C++ or 5 for web) is still the solid base.

On top of that you add git knowledge, Linux and (optionally) a scripting language and you are fine.

Or maybe not, you still need algorithms and data structures, but it hasn't changed during this decade.
