His coding knowledge, like mine, is from the '90's and the 2000's. I doubt he even glanced at an introductory coding book on mobile platforms or basic software security protocol since he got kicked out of Paypal.
Does he even know what he's looking at any more? Basic Python, Java, and C++ ain't gonna help him when it comes to looking at code on a multi-platform software system of systems with all sorts of integration, security and maintenance code in place just so it can be used seamlessly across devices and internet/mobile servicers.

All he's doing is wasting an hour or two of his engineer's time on the clock (hopefully) so he can play big genius boss.
