C0D4681385yThis feels familiar.

It's just a random number with absolutely no quantifiable value. -
tman5401285y@C0D4 I remember seeing this, I was mostly complaining about the highly specific numbers I see sometimes

I'm planning on creating a sarcastic portfolio page, will certainly include this.
"Bar charts are cool: 66% agree
Coding skills aren't enumerable: 1/1 agree
Willing to conduct actual research just to show a pretty graph: 0/1" -
Alt-Tab5535y@tman540 I see it on CVs all the time, and it does very well bother me too. My favorite so far has been a guy putting a pie chart filled up to 90% on his resume noting it as his level of creativity

pk7611725yI can understand the number from a specific skill assessment test, but as a raw percentage? You can't possibly know the total amount of knowledge in a field.

Do you know what really bothers me for no reason? Developers that have bars on their portfolios displaying a percentage of their skill. WHERE ARE Y'ALL GETTING THIS NUMBER FROM? This really shouldn't bother me, but it does. If life was a video game, you'd be able to open your stats UI, and get these percentages, but where are they getting these numbers from? I've seen some websites that people put SUPER specific number (87%, 36%). Are you 87% of the way to being an expert in NodeJS development? I don't understand. I'm not hating on these people, please don't get offended if you have this on your website :)
