..maybe we should teach HR people the fine art of asking the right
dumb questions to help them avoid the wrong dumb expensive hiring
of such people claiming such bragging rights on dbus. Etc.

..we could augment that by advicing C-level people on how their HR
staff skills impacts programmer etc production staff hiring, which
again impacts product quality, which again etc eventually impacts
both their own profit share, and their share holders profits.

..having HR people make such dbus etc braggers come up with simple
answers on "why", rather than the usual avalanche on "how", will
help hiring businesses pick the good competent profitable staff
they need to become or remain profitable businesses.

..good "why" questions on "why a solution was chosen over another"
in e.g. a dbus git branch, of course require a fair bit of research,
which again creates new(?) markets for such good questions and HR
staff hiring interview coaching, etc.

..which again I hope will improve future code quality by discouraging
future such dbus, pulseaudio, gnome, systemd etc type resume builder
code "quality", e.g. funded and written by people coaching HR staff
weeding out the sources of such "quality."
