Teal_Stalliondo people apply for programmer jobs
acid_burnThere's no such thing as utter incompetence.
rmahTeal_Stallion: no, I used it as a noun phrase
Teal_Stallionwith no experience
acid_burnYou're just talking shit and putting people down.
rmahto use it your way, it would be, "are utterly incompetent"
acid_burn: ok
acid_burnYeah.
Teal_Stallionlol
acid_burnThat's not cool, dude.
dmpk2kI'm a bit concerned by more recent attitudes I've seen in corporate space.
acid_burnYou couldn't even spell discipline.
cfeddeevery one is OK. Everyone gets a trophy
rmahacid_burn: I just expect the people I hire to be programmers to be better than me. Because I am certainly not all that good at it.
acid_burnHaha.
cfeddeyou're team is as good as my team.
Kulrakacid_burn: I watched a guy screw a motherboard directly onto the backplate of a case.. as he was applying for a job as a repair tech
does that qualify?
Teal_Stallionrmah: i understand, I'm just curious if people come to you
with no educatioin
Kulrakno risers.. just right on there.. the board was bowing
rmahacid_burn: I appologize for my poor spelling
acid_burnDoes it qualify for what?
rmahTeal_Stallion: most have BS or better
Kulrakfor utter incompetence
acid_burnNot in my world.
Kulrakso what would you call it?
Teal_Stallionrmah: do they just not know it
or do they just not know how to apply it
dmpk2kAre they incompetent in the needed language or framework, or are they just plain out?
cfeddeacid_burn: what are you arguing? that any bozo can be a brain surgeon?
rmahTeal_Stallion: either or both
acid_burnI'm arguing for the good of humanity.
Teal_Stallionodd, someone can get a bs in computer programming and not know it
rmahTeal_Stallion: not at all
#1 they don't teach you how to write software in most CompSci programs
they *barely* teach you in Software Engineering programs
either way, writing code is not hard and doesn't require genious
Teal_Stallioni agree
rmahjust clear thinking and a bit of discipline (<= correct! woohoo!)
