Proficiency in any reasonably common scripting language. I don't even care which. PowerShell, Z shell, Python, Ruby, just please know enough of something to write scripts to perform the odd task we don't have a dedicated tool for. Feels like I'm always running into a new employee who freezes when asked to, like, write a script to pull our phone number inventory and compile a list of vendor IDs for the numbers. Here are the API docs, here is the format of the file I need you to produce, please figure it out.

- floatingatoll 5y agoCompromises are a fact of life and I don’t fault hiring decisions for making them. We already know the relevant answer — scripting language familarity enough to do adhoc data processing — and this question doesn’t focus on understanding of that desire and could be seen as providing sensitive hiring decision information, so I discourage answering it.
