He hired a bunch of 19-25 year old. Not experts

Hey! Thats offensive to 19-25 year olds, there are many who just finished college/university and are more than aware.

They’re just role playing like in movies, with no idea of the consequences.

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 🥲

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Technical enough to be hired, is all I meant. 🙄

[–] kane@femboys.biz 8 points 2 months ago

Apologies, if I came over as hostile. I did not get your meaning through text.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Even then, no. These were all obviously nepotism hires who would not have otherwise qualified.

[–] entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

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.

Your original comment was ambiguous as to if being an "expert" and "being 19-25" are mutually exclusive.

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

lol a 19-21 yo isnt going to have a degree lol,

[–] T156@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

If they went into uni straight out of high school, they could. A lot of Bachelor holders would be around that age, since they start at 18.

Bunch of 1337 hax0rs script kiddies who don't understand anything but they suck elon's balls or something idk.

These are the type of people that have deleted the French language from their GNU/Linux system.
