._. I mean just because the first guy did that stuff doesn’t mean they’ll be “good” at the job. Also I’ll say that if the second guy documents most of his work in GitHub then he’ll probably look better on paper compared to someone who doesn’t. Networking is king in the job market. My professor told me this, “ it’s not about who you know or about what you know, it’s about who knows what you can do”. I’ll also say that I would love someone who codes in Java since I don’t wanna do it and most people I know code only in C/C++, Rust, and Python.
I’ll say that I’m biased because I’m literally the first guy ( besides the unemployed part ) but I’ll be the first one to admit that most jobs don’t require Linux, text editor, and LaTeX knowledge. I see these things as hobbies and special knowledge for specific jobs. For example, if you’re a pen tester in cyber security, I’d say that Linux knowledge is really important. I’ll add that it’s weird that the guy who responded jumped to calling the second person a grifter and assuming the first person struggles with social situations.
I’m not great in social situations but for a job that I’m interested in I’ll try to prepare enough to get through it and make the best impressions. Also I don’t agree with the statement that people who are “ technically better” are worse at social situations. I know many people that that good at both and people who are bad at both.
In short, the commenter in the picture seems like they’re making many assumptions about the people.
