      I think that’s the point. For the person doing the video, and people like him, they feel like they CAN’T level up on technical skills until they prove themselves in multiple other ways, often involving issues outside of work.

      This has been a longstanding thing with all areas of trying to increase diversity in our industry.

            There is no technical content, this is pure naval gazing and why the culture category is often a collectivist dumpster fire. Flagged and hidden.
