I really don't see any value in these sort of half-baked posts full of inaccuracies that contribute to low SNR.

Someone mentioned that it's a resume puff piece, but to me, it does more harm to the person that wrote it than good. It exposes his superficial level of understanding and lack of deep programming knowledge.

Would you hire him based on this? I wouldn't.

To end on a positive note, some advice to the author:

Programming is a field where you can't really hide your skill from people that are better than you. This means that "fake it till you make it" isn't a viable strategy. Embrace precision in your writing and avoid guesswork. If you're guessing about behavior, state so (or better, do research so that you don't have to guess). Ideally, you produce technical posts that go deep, have something to say (about the problem at hand or yourself) and are not mere regurgitations of surface-level knowledge. If you don't have something interesting to say, say nothing.

You're not wrong, but one rarely needs to impress a person better than me to get a job. Hiring managers are rarely subject-matter experts.

Unless only possible job, I highly recommend not wasting your time at company that doesn’t have your future coworkers doing interviews and having hiring input.

That company will likely not have good developers, will be an engineering shit show, and worst of all you will have little opportunity to learn or gain good experience.

You're assuming the worst intentions by OP there and attacking them. Please do write a better piece if you'd like. Write a critique even, but all you're doing right now is saying it's bad without showing how.

OP liked something well enough to write a post on it and shared it. I thought the writing was insightful and intriguing. Sure, the official docs contain the same information but I've read that tiny snippet and never retained that information. This way I'll be able to remember this for a longer time.

Since you're saying this post has inaccuracies, rather than being smug about your superior knowledge, why not point out what they are?

Also there's nothing wrong with writing a simple post in your blog. The internet isn't going to get full.

Over the last week I've seen two blog posts by the same person being recommended by Medium to me scoring programming languages in a laughable way to recommend their favourite niche languages.

That does way more damage to someone's hireability than a post about Python's print function.
