Sometimes it feels like the more someone has memorized all the little acronyms and jargon and principals around programming the worse they are as an engineer.

Sometimes it feels like the more someone has memorized all the little acronyms and jargon and principals around programming the worse they are as an engineer. I worked with a guy who would constantly drop niche jargon and quotes from famous engineers and then kind of smugly look at you. He could not write a function without proudly saying what principals it was following. He was a horrible programmer, ended up getting laid off.
