May be so. These were pretty easy questions, though. Like 'What steps/commands would you use to reset the password on a [Make] [Model] managed switch through the serial port?' Very easy to Google.
Surprisingly, some people couldn't get the answer right even using Google.

- exolymph 10y agoYou mean never overestimate anybody. Or maybe, "You can never underestimate anybody."

- berntb 10y agoThis rings a bell right now. :-) Last week I integrated with a service using (shudder) SOAP. I tried the XML call with curl and couldn't get it to work. I cursed, I frothed. The reply error was some Java dump, not helpful. It took me embarrassingly long to realize I got the HTTP header fields for SOAP from something wrong I googled -- it worked when I copied the header line from old code I wrote before... :-) :-(
- retromario 10y agoMy approach with Stack Overflow is to never copy-paste but always re-type by hand. This forces me to understand each line of code and its behavior (and double-check any errors). I can't recommend this enough.
