This feels familiar.

It's just a random number with absolutely no quantifiable value. -
@C0D4 I remember seeing this, I was mostly complaining about the highly specific numbers I see sometimes

@tman540 I see it on CVs all the time, and it does very well bother me too. My favorite so far has been a guy putting a pie chart filled up to 90% on his resume noting it as his level of creativity

@Alt-Tab Have you ever thought about that? See?
Found this in our codebase, apparently one of my co-workers had written this
Do you know what really bothers me for no reason? Developers that have bars on their portfolios displaying a percentage of their skill. WHERE ARE Y'ALL GETTING THIS NUMBER FROM? This really shouldn't bother me, but it does. If life was a video game, you'd be able to open your stats UI, and get these percentages, but where are they getting these numbers from? I've seen some websites that people put SUPER specific number (87%, 36%). Are you 87% of the way to being an expert in NodeJS development? I don't understand. I'm not hating on these people, please don't get offended if you have this on your website :)
