In fact, the whole exchange (before Noufal pipped in) comes across, in my personal opinion, as mildly insensitive, somewhat naive and perhaps even elitist. And, this may very well be common parlance (which I can't confirm). I can go on and rant about this (though probably not here) but in the spirit of Noufal's short reply, I will pass. However, having never worked in the software/IT industry, I am going to take a long shot and suggest that perhaps both employers and employees tend to use language with jargon, buzz words, and other unspecified-but-understood terms without possibly determining what they may end up conveying. (Skipping classification, words like smart, technically proficient, hardworking, team player, etc. are what I am referring to.)
