What is Vulkan, what is Valve and what is Gallium3D and what is Mesa? Aside from those questions, I loved the summary.

There is this website called Google. It's really handy for finding out answers to questions like this. Maybe give it a try sometime.

You do have to admit that the summary reads like gobbledygook for anyone not closely acquainted with what it was talking about. Almost like one of those management buzzword generators. "synergistically develop timely "outside the box" thinking" comes to mind. https://www.atrixnet.com/bs-ge...

By the same token, you can now replace CEOs with a corporate BS generator coupled to an AI speech synthesizer. I'm sure they can pass a Turing test calibrated to the intelligence level of most CEOs. Think of the cost savings!

My point is that the worst thing that he can do is to use buzz words like "leveraged" or "hallmarks of excellence" especially on a letter of introduction or worse use words that are nebulous corporate jargon during an interview! He is being interviewed as a programmer all he needs to do is explain which languages he is competent in and that he takes pride in his skills and can demonstrate them.

Most importantly he needs to ask what the company has to offer him in a polite way so that the interviewer quickly gets the point that the interviewee is self assured and aware of their worth. An experienced programmer that is self assured without arrogance that avoids the false pretense of corporate speak nonsense will always get the best jobs.

Do you have a program that assembles random words into a sentence?

I hope not...that's the last marketable skill people with MBA's have. If we automate it, imagine the horror when those people disperse into the rest of society.

Too late. The bull shit generator has been around for a while now.

I prefer the Chomskybot. What Samsung might be doing is hiring bullshit code grinders instead of high priced quality inhouse programmers. Either that or they have hired a pile of the recently deceased from Redmond. I always wondered what happened to the cruft that got the ax at Microsoft after Ballmer left, perhaps too many of them got into the hot IOT device market. I would not trust a Microsoft schooled hardware coder to program my friggin' toaster!

I have to say I have not seen a bad update from Samsung on any device I have owned so most likely their Q and A in coding has gone for a shit recently and there is a rational explanation for the down turn in the quality of their software.

For an endless cycle of vapid platitudinal phrases we call bullshit ! Mmmm mm mmMMMmmm, yes, more please!

Strategic Bullshit, hmmm? I wonder...

*quick Google search*

Yup! It exists!

Don't read more into this than is there!

I prefer this site for my Corporate BS. Thanks.

Meanwhile, us programmers don't need to take a "Management in 1 day" training. We develop translators: http://www.atrixnet.com/bs-generator.html
