> Is this real? It can't be real. Nobody can be this stupid.

Having worked in an org with an official in-house genius who was terribly tight with a tech-illiterate leadership and faked his way into his status, I can't really tell. Throwing people under the bus, blaming the world around them for problems created by your brittle code, shunning best practices in favor of finger-pointing... This happens in small shops more often than we'd like believe.

As the saying goes, truth is stranger than fiction. Because fiction is expected to make sense.
