  Do they have hobbies/beliefs/sycophantic mannerisms similar to the bosses in charge? Because that’ll get you promoted. A lot of management are lonely people who don’t view others as equals unless they suck up or never argue, thus useless people get promoted so they can hang with “friends” in meetings all day.

  Or good old nepotism.

      That’s life. I’ll always give a prior service person a bit more grace - at least at some point they volunteered to serve.

        That’s life discriminatory favoritism. I’ll always give a prior service person a bit more grace of unfair special treatment - at least at some point they volunteered to serve the military industrial complex. Plus they are usually team players who>servile and can follow simple directions orders without questioning.

        I also believe in am wrong about mandatory state service (civil or military)

        Fixed it for you.

  the skills and intelligence of a moldy jock strap

  but can barely run basic Linux commands.

  Just so you know, the fact that they are capable of even using Linux puts them in the top percentile of intelligence.

    If you met these people you’d rescind that statement.

    Using Linux isn’t that difficult. You have to remember a few commands, their syntax, and how to look things up on the web or read a book. Speaking a language is probably harder than using Linux for basic stuff.

      This comment here is peak Linux, and a perfect example of that xkcd comic.Image

      99% of people probably couldn’t even tell you what a syntax is. Let alone how it’s relevant to using Linux

      Linux, like all Unix systems, mostly comes with built-in documentation.

        IMO the built in documentation is kind of hard to digest, but it gets easier with practice and I’m glad that it’s there. Thinking about it, some good search engine for manpages that doesn’t require messing with VIM or emacs would be good. That probably exists somewhere.

      Can confirm, I’m an idiot and I have a couple machines running various distros.

  Those that can’t do become management

  People who actually do work, especially in the technology sector don’t get promoted. You get promoted based on popularity
