Gather round kids, I'll tell you a story from a time long before Flutter, Angular, even Fusebox (gasp!)...
I was working at a 1st generation dot-com and we were bombarded by resumes from anyone wanting to get rich quick like those guys profiled in Industry Standard Magazine (sorry kids, go look that up).
Anywhoo, we invented a totally fake programming language, called "MOVA", and mentioned it whenever headhunters called. That way, when candidates were pitched to us with "X years of MOVA experience", we knew that somebody was full of it.
True story? Maybe, you can't be sure on today's Internet. Now if you'll excuse me, I gotta go polish my golden Ben Forta idol.
But feel free to re-use the phony book image we made back then.
