I'm a self-taught software engineer with an education in finance.
I have a few years of experience, first as a Financial Analyst,
then as a Data Specialist, and finally, as a Software Engineer.
I work in DevOps & Data Engineering capacities, supporting
a data platform with >25k users.
Each router checks its table for the destination, and if it doesn't know it, queries the next upstream router, its default route, the next hop. Each router likely ultimately informs you of the hand-off via a packet of some sort, and your then traceroute sends a ping/ICMP to each hop to learn how far away they are.
He maybe could've been pushed to expand on what he did know in more detail, but it seems like she just threw out SNMP as misleading bait, and he maybe mixed up ICMP and SNMP. She is right to call herself a troll, but wow, that's crazy to say she caught the guy in a lie of insanity.
The stepwise increasing TTL is the fundamental mechanism that makes traceroute work. Any answer that omits this is so vacuously incomplete that it might as well be considered wrong.
When you think about it, the candidate isn't even that wrong. Back then, at university, a certain professor would explain the oral exam to the candidate at the beginning. He would explain that he would incrementally increase the difficulty and skip from area to area. The goal would be to find the limits of the student's knowledge, the student would walk away feeling terrible, and he, the professor, didn't enjoy the experience.
That's how it ought to be, but here? OK, candidate doesn't know ICMP well, next topic, no need to waste time and dig in.
Here's another unfavourable thought: some people with abusive childhoods react very badly to dominance displays, and here is Rachel engaging in just that. One wonders what had happened before.
Downvoted for jumping from legitimate criticism of her interview methodology to very personal and completely baseless accusations. This is not the internet I want to live in.
Storytime! In a previous workplace a disagreement over fire safety with escalated into uncalled-for and unwelcome dominance behaviour from my supervisor. All attempts to deescalate were rebuffed, and now there is litigation from multiple plaintiffs, this person took out her sociopathic tendencies on many people. With a minimum of professional detachment or a HR department with a clue the peace would have been kept. (Yes, a few months later the fire marshal issued a code violation, as predicted.) You may not wish to live in that internet, but we live in a world where sociopaths are overrepresented in leadership positions.
Something rubs me here just the wrong way. Rachel complains about ageism and contempt for women in tech, and with good reason, and then she takes it out on an overenthusiastic candidate who can't read the room.
I wasn't denying the existence of antisocial people, I was decrying the public shaming of someone you've never met as a victim of child abuse, and now also as a sociopath, based on only a small thing they wrote on the internet.
I assure you, I've met many people who treat their interviewees worse who are not sociopaths.

Such thing as 'good' taste (in art)? *Is there 'good' art? Are there 'good' artists?
Graham says:
If no such thing as 'good' taste >>> no such thing as 'good' art >>> no such thing as being 'good' at making art
You could still have popular art, but not 'good' art.
In a vaccum, on the whole, people would generally say Davinci's art was better than a 4-year-old's *probably because it seems more impressive or skillful
*Art-skill is the effectiveness of conveying a concept to the observer or illiciting a desired response from the observer

someone basically commented:
You can be extrememly skilled at making some obscure art that no one else could make, but almost no one likes, but if the target niche receives it well, you made good art.
You can make popular art with virtually no effort, that literally anyone else could've made.
somone responded:
> and there are many productions which take virtually no effort which people love
It only takes a quick trip to reddit to see this in action.
In a thread where people were talking about the jails and the overall penal system, someone said "heh...penal" and it had several Golds and thousands of points.

someone basically commented:
People who like Pop music are regarded as having horrible taste, yet Pop music is wildly popular.
*Are the people who make Pop music 'good' at making music? Yes, they effectively make music designed to be consumed by the masses
*Then, why do the people who like Pop music have bad taste? Well, you'd assume that if they're choosing to listen to widely consumable music of their own volition, rather than using their time appreciating more sophisticated music, that takes more knowledge to appreciate, they probably don't have good taste.
*Taste is the ability to recognize _power_ in art. If you can recognize power in art without it already being widely appreciated, but you expect it to down the line, and it does become popular down the line, you have good taste.
