So it's about acceptable lies and unacceptable lies. I suppose it is all a matter of opinion which lies are acceptable and which are not.
Santa Claus for example is a well accepted lie which is okay to propagate.
Yeah, I've considered lying, but not necessarily to deceive. I'd be up to date with all necessary API's within less than a week, but my point is that because I've not had any real-world experience, would it be bad to say a white lie in an industry that relies so massively on past-experience?
And has anyone else lied? Or am I the only one who would consider lying about something small in order to achieve something better?
