My comment on the thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/PinoyProgrammer/comments/12nzzmn/comment/jggu8ux/


P.S. Apologies in advance. I've had little sleep leading to the episode, and worse, I recorded this at 3AM!!! So I think it may have influenced my frame of mind. I got kinda agitated during the episode. Worse, I kept using "incompetent" instead of "unqualified" or "inexperienced" during the whole episode. Poor choice of words, I know. Regretted it the minute I stopped the recording. Well, that's that. But yeah, my sincerest apologies.
