Given that I've seen people like this IRL, I'm more curious how she got hired in the first place.

Someone forgot to give them a programming task at the job interview.

I have met people like this at a job interview (where I gave them a programming task, and the interview ended soon afterwards), and they were charismatic extraverted talkers, with CVs that contained previous software development jobs. I could easily imagine them passing the interview with a non-technical interviewer.
