We had a PHP programmer who didn't know the PHP tags (<?php ?>).

He would stare at the screen doing nothing and when every body else was busy and not paying attention to him, he would watch videos and visit gaming websites.

That sounds like several PHP developers I've worked with, who have learned to code in the post-framework era and who have therefore literally never written a vanilla PHP script, or even in some cases used standard library functions.

He wasn't actually a developer. He got in with a 3 month apprenticeship after finishing his studies.

He was supposed to be a web developer but honestly I don't know how we passed his classes. He didn't know anything.

And, of course, we didn't hire him after the 3 months period ended.

Might have been the best php programmer ever tbh.
