bsdpunk··on Ask HN: Survey – Would You Use a Recruiter? Yes/No
No. I try very hard not to use a recruiter, I have done a lot of contract jobs and worked at a few short lived startups. All and all this means I am in the job market a lot. And I find that recruiters take up 80% of my time, and get me 20% of my jobs.

Actually, it was a project, I priced out at $100. Thinking I could rip through it easily. It took me longer than I thought I am sad to admit, even with my rough pipes, and multiple sed and greppings :)

I said a very amateur enthusiast since 1999, which is closer to 10 years. And the Ctrl-D is what I said in my interview I apologize if it is not factual. Looking it up it appears to be end of file, is this correct, I will change my post to reflect this if so.

Well, I asked the interviewer if by asymmetric he meant something like PKI, and all I got was a frown. And I was like symmetric encryption is just normal. I think I was more caught off guard, as well as just not thinking much about it. I got all the PAM questions right if that helps. Probably doesn't. I feel genuinely humiliated by the whole situation.

Seriously in the back of my head I heard my Father's voice: "You done fucked up good, boy"
