Discussion on: I just took couple of LinkedIn quizzes and was wondering do they even matter?! 🤔

I took a few of these tests. I passed the first and thought OK, let's get a few badges or whatever, but the next two asked the most obscure unnecessary questions that no-one would ever actually use in real life development that I started to question myself and didn't fancy doing any more. Badly worded, obscure, and on one there were four different large code snippets with the difference between all of them one tiny part of one line, it took me ages to work out what the difference was!

Knowing some obscure, never used functionality/definitions doesn't make you good at your job; conversely, not knowing some obscure behind the scenes rhubarb doesn't make you bad at your job.
