I think Robert brings up an interesting scenario here 🙂 It's true that some folks cross the border of intuition and love clicking the "Apply" button. And I think a developer with one year of experience applying for jobs that require 5+yr of experience is nothing but being too naive.
But my concern was with those, who have 1 year of experience but most of the jobs required min. 2 years of experience.

1 and it asks for 2? Go for it. Even the 1 for 5 IF you have a strong portfolio or know you can blow them away at a code interview or tech interview. If your reasoning is instead "why not?", it's not for you.
