NVTP

This article discusses the growing issue of technical incompetence in the tech industry, introducing the acronym NVTP (Not Very Technical Person) to describe individuals who lack genuine technical skills but pretend otherwise, often with the support of leadership. The author argues that such people are promoted for personal benefit, despite being unable to execute technical tasks. The piece distinguishes NVTPs from honest non-techies and junior staff, and uses analogies like a car designed by non-drivers to illustrate the dangers. It focuses on workplace dynamics and technical roles, making it relevant to IT and technology topics.
