I was neutral towards ubuntu until I started the interview process for Canonical. An essay about my achievements in High school is pure ageisme. Adding to this the “better than thou” attitude of Mark Shuttleworth and I decided to shut the door on Ubuntu.
Debian is pretty rad though.
It was a software engineer job. Python and Kubernetes so not really entry level. For your entertainment here’s the questions I had to write about (just the education section).
