    I once knew a “developer” with 20 years of “experience” who could not write a foreach loop by hand

    Some people are really good at bullshitting their way through life

      I jump between languages so much I can never remember the structure.

      for item in items? Or item of items or items as item?

      Best to just have the IDE auto complete it.

        Same here. I’m blue collar so I only do it at work if someone fucks up and gives me access to an interpreter. Or I suck it up and use powershell or excel then drink vodka and cut myself when I get home.

      Knowing about and having met multiple such “senior Devs” has made me feel so much better about my work and my own set of skills, not gonna lie.
