Well, FORK YOU AND THE PACKET YOU WERE ENCAPSULATED IN!


This is just priceless ... I am going to send the guy a note and find out where he is working these days :-)

Also, to those that have been asking: the semi-automated test environment
was dismantled about the same time we filled the position, so we don't
have it available to go through.

 Doug,


   Don't tease - you absolutely owe us the full text of the response
from the fellow who was upset about your asking for a public SSH key as
part of the interview process.

These days, I used semi-automated remote testing to find the good
guys.  I put very little faith in resumes, and do not use them to
evaluate candidates.  This has worked out extremely well.  I imagine
that this process is not suitable for many positions, or for cultures
that are different from Telerama's.

Check out the job posting at https://doug.telerama.com/admin_job.txt

In particular:

 DO NOT SEND YOUR RESUME at this point of the application process. If
 you do send your resume, we will assume you did not bother to
 carefully read this job posting, and we will not consider your
 application.

 To begin taking the tests, please send your public SSH key to
 [email protected] along with your email contact information. Sending
 your SSH key is the only way to signal your interest in this
 position. Please do not send a resume, cover letter, or other plea.

The last time I posted this, I received 200 total replies.  151
contained resumes, 52 contained public SSH keys, 4 contained public
PGP keys, and 1 contained a private SSH key.

One further response expressed hostility toward the requirement of a
candidate's public SSH key in order to be considered for a position.

Doug
