Damn, at least the kid confessed he was just pretending to be some big shot.
On the ride back, I explained to my dad how their systems work and what the current standards for development are, and how outdated that place looked, let alone functioned. And he listened for the most part but I know he's gonna drag me back there soon again. 😂 I appreciate him trying to help me out but I'd really rather sit on my ass at home fiddling with random ass code. -
@CatMDV Touché. The guy must be an IT wiz!

@RustyCookie @hungryBear we don't count in "everyone" ;)

@CatMDV or there is no tech to maintain lol
My dad had been telling me about his friend's amazing son who was working in the IT dept. of some hospital and was raking in a lot, was super smart and 'worked in a hi-fi environment'. Kept telling me to go meet him to get some work online if possible.
Now, I know my dad is easily influenced and impressed especially because of his non-tech background. And today, after a month of him reprimanding that I'm not listening to him and letting go of a big opportunity, he finally pulled me by my collar and brought me to visit the guy in his office...
And turns out the staff has never even heard the guy's name! And their IT dept. can fit no more than 3 people, is filled with papers, monitors from the 90s and chairs that would cause permanent back aches.
He looks so dejected and the guy isn't picking up his phone either but I had an inkling how this meeting would turn out. :/
