The picture below is the bizarro me. He’s a young professional, working his way to an MBA. What amazes me is how he can get by without knowing geeky things. Quickly using his braggadocio instead of his powers of reasoning, he does his job without touching a command line. His current assignment in the corporation doesn’t require him to form logical plans or know much about infrastruture. The department that he works for is in charge of one product, a very important product, but a product that has exacting specifications that everyone else has to conform to. So, his schtick is to look at project, see if everything complies with his product and says yes or no… that’s it.

Now, normally I wouldn’t be bothered with this, but I caught him in a meeting shuffling papers for one of his business courses and I thought… “what does this kid have that I don’t have?” The answer: white skin, youth, and connections. Oh the cruel world of big business.
