Knew an SDE II with 10 years of experience at MS who didn't know how to grep through a file to find out which log lines started with a certain word. Guy seemed have been holding pretty well onto his job, probably senior by now. Plenty of deadwood.
- Hydraulix989 13y agoI guarantee said developer knows how to use "findstr" in the DOS shell to accomplish the same task though. Remember, this is Microsoft.
- akurilin 13y agoI used "grep" in a generic way. My comment referred to whatever grepping tool available on that platform, which at the time was indeed findstr, as you suggested, and Powershell. Of course it'd have been silly to expect a Windows-only-ever person to be familiar with Unix tools, that was not the point at all.
