Out of the box, U*nix does not have an official command line parser. The original was the Bourne Shell or sh. But then others came onto the various Unix implementations and later Linux:
ksh: Korn Shell popular on HP UX
bash: Most popular, on Mac OS and most Linux distros - Also written by Bourne
Resume decoder- What various levels of software or programming knowledge people put on their resume actually mean.
Familiar with - Means you’ve heard of it. Even if the first time was when you read it in the job description that you’re applying for. Or maybe you’ve seen it used or demo’d.
Knowledgeable - you’ve used it to at least open a doc, or did a tutorial (such as copying code from a magazine or book). Extra credit if you actually typed it, in vs copy and paste. Maybe you even printed a document.
Expert - more knowledgeable than nearly anyone else in your old office. In Office programs, you actually know how to use templates.
Guru - You believe you know more than the person who is going to interview you.
I was wondering if anyone was gonna notice that one and then it hit me that
if we can inject the code and use reflection we can tag the methods we want
at insights I’m hoping I can meet up with some of you and grill you on some
different topics. Speaking of grilling, man I ate some good shrimp the other
day; I got them from my buddy at work, he’s swell.
