While getting my CS degree, I also had a job as the SA for a small local ISP. Two Linux boxes, a PortMaster, and a dozen or so 56K Hayes modems. RADIUS authentication between the PM and the Linux boxes. Can't recall how we did accounting. I probably wrote a Perl script that scraped the RADIUS logs. The Linux distribution was probably Slackware. Kernel was probably early 2.x? Fun times... The folks I interview these days with their new fenagled CS degrees have no clue how anything works. They can write code, sure, barely, but they can't answer a single question about how _any_ of it works. How do you get a CS degree and not know the difference between TCP and UDP? How do you become a front-end developer who codes React apps but can't explain the DOM? Have no clue what a conditional GET is? It makes me sad...
