I work in IT and we just hired a new “Engineer” at the company I’m working for. I saw on the form that it said he knew a lot about Python, so, I got interested and decided to go meet him. First thing I ask is what IDE he uses and he says “Anaconda”. Next thing you know, he’s calling the entire computer a “CPU” and can’t solve simple issues on Windows. Nice guy though.
Same dude. I was hired as a level one even though I’ve been in the field off and on for about 15 years. My company just hired someone over me who hasn’t worked in IT since the late 90s. If you ask him about anything he claims to have worked with it, even things like CardDAV which wasn’t a thing until 2011. If you ask him any in depth questions he brushes them off without giving an actual answer and everyone just buys into his bullshit. It’s crazy how many people will take you at your word if you’re a straight laced clean cut white guy.
