They graduated toward the top of their class from their university and rated themselves a four out of five in their Java experience (where one is “wrote a few programs in it” and five is “can give a big conference talk about it”), but couldn’t tell us the difference between an array, ArrayList, and a HashMap in Java.

They had heard of a HashMap but never used it before.

man what the fuck
