@maid he would be like the dilbert meme of the slackware guy going "here's a penny kid, get yourself a better operating system" except he can't even exit vim
This 30 year old "kid" needs two fingers of Nikka single malt on the rocks
@shibao I LITERALLY HAD TO TEACH HIM HOW TO EXIT VIM TODAY
@maid I have found myself referring to 20-somethings “kids” and I need to stop. Would never say that to a person’s face.
@Lars @shibao I lost so much respect for the guy when I had to remind him that a leading / in a directory is indicating that it's at the root of the FS. And yeah, I also found out today that he doesn't know what a manpage is. And yet he wants to make a complicated system so well documented, "anyone off the street could do it"
These people are suicidal workaholic babies man.

@awl it's just not a great look to call a senior engineer on a $3B project who's teaching you basic job skills, "a kid"
@maid can you afford to refuse to teach this old twat? I would in this case
@awl most of this boiled over today when he very suddenly realized how large the scope of the work is after a month or so of downtime that he accidentally acclimated too when I had to go visit the customer and we were waiting on other team's deliverables. I'm just gonna let him do his thing and I'm just going to keep doing my thing and not let it degrade my quality of work. Dude's gotta learn on his own.
nah, I just let people like that have enough rope to hang themselves with. I'm a rope salesman, not a hangman.
