Hey, that sounds like me. At least, I've done those things.

I've also found it doesn't matter; no one cares. This combination isn't valued.

The only thing that's valued (per revealed, not stated, preference) is your skill at solving homework problems on a whiteboard with an interviewer breathing down your neck and hoping to prove you're an idiot.
