One memorable time I heard that old saying, was by a software engineer, in a Python-strengthening training that they did for some of our people who were fairly new to team software development.
Not long after, at an engineering holiday dinner, an exec was asking everyone about their hobbies. That same engineer proudly shows a photo on their phone, of themself posing with a huge black tacticool sniper rifle.
I might've looked taken aback, because the exec then asked if I shot guns. Nope.
Refer back to the old saying, in the training.
The engineer did good work, and seemed to be a decent person, but it's still a little funny that they turned out to be immune to the layoffs (by that same exec) that eventually got me and almost everyone else.
