> Someone who claims to Lead Efforts To Optimize Production while having the title Sandwich Artist is overstating their accomplishments.<p>I'm not so sure of that. Does this guy realize how ridiculously long it takes some sandwich shops to make a sandwich? Any Lead[ing] [of] Efforts to Optimize Production would be a welcome change, and if said candidate really did so in a sandwich shop like Togo's (which is <i>notorious</i> for taking, like, 10 minutes to make a goddamn sandwich when the local Port of Subs or Subway takes, like, 2 for an equivalent sandwich), I'd hire that candidate in an instant.
I posted this because I thought that while most HN readers probably don't think like this, it's a useful exercise to get a different perspective in case you come across people who do.
