M K(@mkadnk):I interviewed a college-trained "machinist" who said he knew GD&T and could program in Fusion 360. • Pointed to a flatness callout on a print — he had no idea what the symbol meant. • Asked him to locate true position — he didn’t know what it was. • Told him he could use AI to find it — he said he doesn’t use AI. • Had him program a simple cube from raw stock — didn’t know speeds/feeds and left zero stock for vise holding. Would you hire him?
