Our world requires a dangerous and increasing amount of faking it to make it. Compared to even 20 years ago, you have to pretend to know vast amounts of stuff, and pretend to possess way more varied skills, to get taken seriously. This is very dangerous.

I can write. I can do some math. I understand management for tech companies well enough to help people with ut, that’s it. I can *talk* about more, and amateurishly do a few more things well enough for my own needs, but that’s not the same thing as being useful to others.

If I put that on a resume it would look really stupid. Maybe we need a movement towards absolutely minimalist capability/knowledge descriptions in resumes/CVs/LinkedIn... not everything can be reduced to show-over-tell GitHub commit history but we can get closer
