npub1hpcdfjpxrawnmu6ryh36ce7xu4qd54pu6xca394yhvmyzlery0tqvghjn3 (npub1hpc…hjn3) I think this is a good idea regardless of personal connections. I have definitely gotten jobs that I did not meet the "minimum requirements" for, even without connections to the company.
I think the best advice I heard regarding this I heard from Eli the Computer Guy: "let them tell you no". If you don't apply, they don't even have the chance to reject your application. You have little to lose by applying (just a few minutes most likely).
The "requirements" list should really be seen as a wishlist. Just be honest about the limits of your skills and experience, and accept rejection as a part of the process.
