quite often the plan in the mind of these folks is that they will try to fake their way through and be moved up into project management

Wait a minute, are you saying all I have to do to be promoted to Project Management is to code really badly?

Hmm. I wonder if C# has GOTOs...

Even better! It has exceptions! You can write code that deliberately throws an exception where the handler calls a function. It's more like come-froms than GOTOs.

Please don't do this.

This is a somewhat common (possibly even 'Pythonic') idiom in Python.

I guess it's pretty common. One of my old coworkers was promoted to a mostly management position, this guy couldn't figure out how to print something out in Python without calling a colleague.

Why yes, yes it does.

You can also alphabetically sort a list of 30 things by adding those things to a list line-by-line, sorting them in alphabetical order yourself.

I see you've worked in enterprise too!
