How on earth is it offensive to say they're "not experts"? They're not prodigies with PhDs. These specific young men are just technical enough and ideologically aligned.
Except they’re not, as you will know their tweet would be false after your first year of any technical (IT oriented) education.
First year? That shit is like A+ cert level knowledge or below, and A+ is damn near worthless. They would know that in the first few hours of a study guide
I was being generous when you consider the people in school who somehow pass, even when they don’t know a thing 🥲
Technical enough to be hired, is all I meant. 🙄
Even then, no. These were all obviously nepotism hires who would not have otherwise qualified.
Meh, some of them won some hackathons and scholarships, it's pretty clear they're otherwise at least somewhat bright but they don't have any relevant domain knowledge.
In other words, the type of person most likely to be prone to hubris and catastrophic failures.
Apologies, if I came over as hostile. I did not get your meaning through text.
Your original comment was ambiguous as to if being an "expert" and "being 19-25" are mutually exclusive.
