    I'd imagine a fluency in one of the programming languages could be super helpful. Is that cheating?

      Isn't it a thing that people who know the really old languages can get paid a whole load by certain companies because their systems rely on software/run on systems which are only compatible with that long-forgotten language?

        I know a guy that was replaced with 2 less experienced people. Incompetent actions leads to a borked system down the road and the elder engineer gets brought back under a fancy new director title, flexible schedule and a substantial salary increase.

      It's technically a language.

      "any system of formalized symbols, signs, sounds, gestures, or the like used or conceived as a means of communicating thought, emotion, etc."

      Looks like you're good! :)
