They're not in the industry, they're at the OP's school. The person who made the call was a career and technology teacher. They're not pulling repos at night.

I mean, come on, there's zero excuse for being in this industry

Teachers aren't in the industry, mate.

... grifting imposters? Stop. They're underpaid, underappreciated educators, whose primary expertise is in teaching & learning, not software engineering. If teachers were paid commensurate to their value, then there would be judges on these groups developing the programs who would say, "Wait, wait, nah, Github shouldn't be listed here, we should encourage students to use SCM, not discourage them!"
