I only use grep once or twice a month on average. Why do employers expect you to have every possibly relevant thing memorized? I hate it.

- BrandonM 16y agoI use grep several times a week. If the job is one that will leverage command line skills, it would make sense to understand grep. It's not like "grep [f]oo" is an alien command; it's basically a pattern.

I've been meaning to make a web comic where software companies end up with Exactly the employees they interview for. Eg the boss asks "why the does the guy we hired keep solving project Euler problems all day?"
