- Including Unix and BSD.
- Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of

4. No recent reposts

Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.

I wonder why people do this. You wouldn't apply to a welding job if you can't weld. Why so many people apply to programming positions if they can't actually code (or a database analyst position without knowing SQL)?
Some people seem to think you can just Google stuff or more recently use AI to do the coding, not knowing that being a dev is mostly about knowing what to search and that being a dev isn't just coding.
I mean, Google and AI can be really helpful, but you should be able to do stuff without it. Google won't help you if you have a problem with a customer/company specific problem that requires knowledge about the whole technical infrastructure.
Money? Maybe the get the first pay until they get thrown out again.
My current job just hired someone as a senior Salesforce admin with a bunch of certs who in reality lacks any Salesforce skills at all. He's been here for 6 months now and is really just dead weight on the team, but the only reason he hasnt been let go yet is because middle managent above him has its own host of issues, and the only reason he's on thin ice is because of some of my team has been very loudly forwarding complaints against him up the chain and clearly communicating that he's not showing the competencies that are required for the role and that he claimed to have. I give it another 6-12 months before he either gets fired or bounces
