      Knowing how to quickly look something up isn’t a bad skill. The problem is when that’s all they do

        Sure, look up specific configuration points or architectures, but looking up AD is a bad sign.

          Worse, it was just a generic question about exposure for a low-level position. I.E. Can you tell me what big thing this is used for?

        Ooo and there’s even a serious looking page “explaining” it as the first result when looking it up on Google

        I’m definitely stealing this idea

          Steal away. An old boss knew the person who maintains that page. If I remember correctly it’s entire reason for being is for that one question.
