Is the entire question becoming obsolete?
I'm something of a command-line wizard (well, given enough time, if I'm honest! I always have to re-remember things like awk syntax), but in interviews now, no one asks core Linux shell-type questions (or even theoretical kernel-type questions). They primarily ask:
- coding (70+%)
- diagramming infra type questions
- experience with keywords ("CI/CD" and "containerization" being the biggest keywords).
Recently I interviewed with a 'startup' that's in the real estate space and I was told by a manager, after touting my Linux infrastructure skills, "Oh, I don't even care about that anymore. I can teach all there is to now in a couple of days. It's all AWS and tooling here."
This is in the DevOps space.
Sounds like the new generation can give 0 craps about the command-line?
