@TeachMeCode If "rejected" is a Q, you can just answer "no" so you're still hired.

@aviophile True. The issue is fitting the right person with the right job.
We have an intern who only knows CSS — after explaining how to integrate that knowledge into Vue components, he's steadily rebranding & freshening up our whole codebase.
As a company, you just have to make sure you fit a styling monkey like that into a team where that labor has value, and give him plenty of opportunity to learn Javascript in the mean time.
No need for impostor syndrome.
