Money laundering and CV padding. Currently working with a guy that has a React book on Amazon. 0$ on Kindle, 22.50$ paperback so at least you can see for yourself what quality it is. The book is artificially elongated and full of advise scraped from tutorials. The code snippets are pretty much non-existent. Overall garbage. Recruiters don't read through the bullshit so it's a good sell "This guy wrote a book on the thing!". Doesn't matter that the guy produces spaghetti garbage with complexity of 36. Contracting high-life. As the old saying goes "Worse is better". Of course laying off the guy would not pass. What would the client say!? Let's make him the lead on the front-end part and eventually push the blame on him once the client realizes what a steaming pile of bullshit they've got on their hands. As a cherry on top there's managerial padding between US and EMEA departments of the client so probably they'll go off to the sunset with another bullshit entry on their LinkedIn profiles. Handcrafted bespoke user interfaces - seriously, who unironically puts this on their contracting business LinkedIn profile? Who buys this babble (besides the technically oblivious managers)?
