Javascript and golang

I used to work with a guy who got way in over his head as a result of being buddy buddy with the boss. He inherrited packaging of applications from another guy who saw the writing on the wall and noped his way out of the company...

This guy would google how to do each step in packaging an application, each time he had to do it or modify an existing package, and would often manually scan 100s of lines of scripts looking for a particular keyword, and still to this day does it, even though i would bring up use of ctrl+f every single time he would ask me for help, litterally hundreds of times. I got to the point where i would tell him to let me know when he found the line he was looking for and then i would walk back to my desk, it never failed that 10 minutes later he would text me ok, i found it. After walking back to his desk and helping him, he would move on to the next step, google what he needed to change, and then try to prevent me from going back to my desk while he spent another 10 minutes scanning lines of text to find the keyword he was looking for... to this day, i bet he is still not using ctrl+f.... sickening that someone can get away with that in IT.

I swear on my life, the following is 100% true.

When i was in 5th grade, a dare officer came to my class and told me about a piece of paper i could put under my tongue and see things that werent real(lsd)... that started a decade long journey of copious drug use.
