Love that In work we try to minimize the words as much as possible.

Key reasons come to mind:

  1. global audience and people need to put it into translator.
  2. some people we work with are dumb as doornails and ideas need to be simplified.
  3. no one wants to read 5 paragraph for a simple we don't know what color you wanted.
  4. ain't nobody got time for that.

Those extend the paper as long as possible skills are useless in the real-world.

What about job applications?

Those skills are used when filling out forms that are going to be AI processed and need to have all the keywords from the job ad jammed into each answer.

I wouldn't know wtf HR doing. Those are the same POS that demand 15 years experience for something that came out 2 years ago.

I scared future is putting tiny tags in background to look like a elegant pattern so AI reads it but person just sees the good stuff. even still it's min max words. Can't fit the whole dictionary on one page.

CEOs, politicians and business people disagree.

I mean, they are useless in the big picture.

It's funny cause boss is always trying to hide information to business people. They tend to get overwhelmed if we don't.
