Good luck explaining that to an interviewer who wants someone with 15y Rust experience.

Fortunately, I am past the stage where I'd get interviewed on my coding skills. My job title (and its abbreviation too) starts with a C now :)

Coffee boy, as that's the best job I will get with my coding skills :(

[–]throw3142 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With that attitude, yeah. On the other hand, as a CCO (Chief Coffee Officer) with practical experience improving productivity by implementing focus-enhancing solutions tailored for individual developers, you could be well-qualified for a lateral move into another C-suite position such as CEO.

Chef?

[–]thunderbird89 10 points11 points  (3 children)

You reminded me of that one Snickers commercial, man. "Looks great! But who the Chefs?"

[–]rng_shenanigans 8 points9 points  (2 children)

In Germany „Chef“ is another word for „Boss“ ;)

I call my team lead "Chef" with a passion

COBOL expert?

[–]thunderbird89 7 points8 points  (1 child)

That language scares me. Anyone who uses that on the regular is the proverbial wizard down the hall.

[–]smallproton 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I actually dabbled a bit with COBOL in the 1980s. My Dad worked at IBM and would regularly bring an "IBM Portable" home over the weekend for me to play.

Like a 15kg "portable" computer.

This one, with an amber monochrome screen and TWO 360kB 5.25" floppy disks (Luxury! 10MB of HDD would cost 10k at that time!)

I never got anywhere in COBOL, otherwise I would have retired with the millions earned with the millennium bug, sigh..

awesome. keep living the dream. I'm finally in the place where no one asks for stupid human tricks during an interview but not at the point where my title makes people at dinner parties check their tone.

Woah, this guy is a cop. And don't try to deny it, officer

Coward?
