1. learning. I notice that people who have the fancy degrees or come from big tech are more interested in status/ladder climbing rather than the "work of the work". new things are dangerous to the status quo. 2. reading comprehension. they don't read the docs, their tests read like 'it works' if there's any. 3. tedious or technical work isn't "cool". the reality is, learning the obscure hard parts of the existing system and making recommendations to upgrade out or up is job security. they would rather start a weekly tech talk.
