@lettosprey At my last job I often gave feedback to job descriptions written by my former boss and it really gave me a bit of a grudge against XML.
Literally every job for data science or software had 'Experience in XML' as a prominent bulletpoint at equal importance to the actual programming languages the team used or actual subject-matter knowledge for the role. Every time, I gave her the feedback that that makes as much sense as treating CSVs as some major vital skill, but it kept showing up again and again.
It somehow having a kind-of fandom among managers explains so much.
