And that is the thing I do not get. If I am breaking the law using my own car and getting passengers, if I drive it, if I pay for it, why do fuck I need Uber?
There are turfs, but people tend to move between them or have multiple competences. And in the lucky places you have some defined ones. Some markets lack core skills, or others are too small to have very strongly defined turfs.
For me the one that took the cake was interviewing someone that did not bathe and was stoned or drunk. And was complicated explaining to his father what happened. Anyway if a place asks me what do you think your strengths are, I do not care wether they are HR or not, im out of there.
I had my first tastes of IT in a ZX Spectrum and a commodore vic 20; at school in a TRS-80 doing BASIC until they switched to XT. Also had the introduction to Unix and C in HP/UX with serial consoles, and started working shortly after as a C software developer in Xenix and MS-DOS.
Do not be dense please. In places like India, Africa or South Europe (where I live) it is the norm to not have any organisation at work and people to be jack of all trades, but in other cultures and in the "civilised" world, people have very defined responsibilities and they do not let you touch even other areas of competence without you have documented and proven training and experience on that.
Quite by the contrary. I do mind working with 20s. They do have some patience for things we do no longer have, and also investigate things a lot. They also need some guidance. What often ticks me off is being interviewed by 20s. Besides them having no experience in life, they often do not understand when they are saying something they were told to say that they are insulting people actually (e.g. too lower offers, or private life questions, for instance), they do not have the life experience to often understand sarcasm, they also do not get it older people has more independent thinking, and also they denote clearly the place I am applying for hires as a politic cheap labor force.
People will be people after all. I have seen been in both sides at the interview table and see a lot of good things, and a lot of bad things. And it is rather childish of you assuming I am saying I would do that or not, and besides, not your business. And some interviews are not meant to be finished anyway. A short while ago I was called by a rather crude lady that came from linked.in, and as first question she asked me what my salary is. I told her why would you want to know my salary? To see if you are fit for the job....was the answer. Excuse me lady, the interview is finished here. Nobody is allowed to insult me. Now if she did the job and had read my profile. I actually do not think it was a REAL interview, but a market polling of salaries level masked as an interview. And anyway, she did not understood at the all the terrible social faux pas she made anyway, being 20 years old...which is a story for another day and another post.
When google contacted me a couple of times, directly or indirectly one of the job requirements was to lift up 30kg. In another instance, was in god-knows-where in france, and one of the requirements was to have a car. The non-google headhunters actually lied when I asked them the right questions about this being a rookie position. Thanks, but not interested.
Have you considered some of this people maybe not like your approach and actually sabotage the interview because they would want to work in the same firm as yourself? It is also the point of the interviews for the candidates, interviews are a two way street.
Actually you are talking about my worst nightmare. My wife is talking about going on their dream holiday, and I really do not want to be anywhere near Italy.
You could argue? You are fucking kidding me. Try to subscribe one within the experimental period, and you will see how soon someone "in your area" talks to you, just to get you as a paid customer. You know, there are people paid to do that, some people even reported some of these people even attended first meetings as cover. This comment must be very naive indeed.
I agree with you in the bloodsucking part, however you did not get the message. It is when bypassing them is giving them the ultimate middle finger...from the grave. Why do we have to spell it out everything for slashdot people...?...I wonder.
(and by writing this, it does not mean I do not know there are other advanced methods, and deep packet inspection, and whatever...) So dear slashdot reader, if you feel itchy commenting that how about washing the cat or the laundry?
Or often not that subtle. Most of the basic malware that infect wordpress sites and similar nowadays just do simple mathematical operations on the data of connections to outside do avoid detection by signatures.
Nothing wrong. Whilst in paper you can design the most perfect of the setups, in the field that wont happen for multitude of reasons, from technical, to political and ending on work needs. Good luck blocking IPsec into many sites. The blocking capabilities of many products just give you a false sense of security, and frankly if you are using IPS to block and manage unwanted traffic protocols, you are doing it wrong.
Whilst most of the firewall products nowadays do provide proxies or web interfaces for users (for instance WebVPN in Cisco products), I do find it is a terrible idea to open up services and use up resources from the firewall. Just look at the long list of the security advices from WebVPN in Cisco for instance. I do follow the policy of minimum services that i have as a baggage as a Unix admin, and webvpn/proxy/VPN services are all provided by external servers. For instance, pfSense is quite nifty for that, or squid+dansguardian. Why not provide access or provide unrestrictive access in a wifi network for BYOD? They can as well pierce your firewall with personal VPN services, they are very cheap nowadays. As for the corporate network, many people do not understand how a culture of unrestricted access to social networks and allowing adverts is a covert channel to infect personal computers. Also if you want to invest in security and money is not a problem, have a look at the Capsule concept from Checkpoint.
Oh, but there is of course. We upgraded our 3k servers easily because we have a RH enterprise account.;) The only interesting bit was we have all the procedure documented, but then they contradicted himselves and say the man goes full comando and updates everything live without testing. Apart from that, it is drivel.

So I guess at the end of the day you were the lucky one. No fun working with idiots.

I am not, but I have an ex who fits the previous description.
Actually you are talking about my worst nightmare. My wife is talking about going on their dream holiday, and I really do not want to be anywhere near Italy.
A woman at 45 in the USA will have got the assets of her ex....no beauty but money.
Your forgot the feminist and the cynic, and the later seems to get increased with age.
You could argue? You are fucking kidding me. Try to subscribe one within the experimental period, and you will see how soon someone "in your area" talks to you, just to get you as a paid customer.

Amen brother. The problem is that most women, despite being a nut job and fat, want the perfect male.
What wrong women? Nowadays when you visit the USA or lately the UK, it seems you are swimming in a sea full of whales. Been out of home lately?
Think of all the money you saved. Buy I suspect your problem is that your are chasing women out of your league, and only from a single paragraph.

Have you ever seen a devop presentation from facebook or better yet twitter techs? This piece of infomercial is rubbish.
