Over the last couple of weeks I’ve had a couple of job-search results that have looked rather familiar. These being with a particular spec from a particular agency who were the only agency to deal with this particular company, which is the same as one I interviewed for a few weeks ago, yet didn’t get due to a disagreement in methodology between myself and their Polish ‘Technical Lead’. Now, over the last weekend, I was having a chat with a couple of the tech guys I know who just happen to work at the hosting centre (‘The Bunker’) at which this company that I’ve ended up not working for have their servers hosted. Now with these guys being proper techies who know what they’re doing, they agreed with my points of why the Eastern european ‘Technical Lead’ was in fact mistaken, with one of them mentioning that the TL is somewhat difficult to deal with and the other suggesting that while our friend from the former eastern bloc may have adequate unix skillz, their methods (like one changing firewall policies without notification because he didn’t like them) may leave something to be desired. So, what were these disagreements? and why were they mistaken? * “CentOS is the only operating system of choice because it has a 6-year support life
