If I don't have enough (any) experience for this job a recruiter emailed me about; should I call her up? I don't have enterprise hands-on experience installing and troubleshooting Windows. I've been reading about it though. :ld:

Hell fukking no. "I've been reading about it" is the absolute worst reason to go for a job.

Those books tell you how to do it the microsoft way, but you won't be doing it the microsoft way, you will be doing it the companies way, because they already have an infrastructure in place and they are NOT going to let you tear it down and rebuild it because "you read it in a book."

You really want to be in a situation where people are looking at you to fix something critical and you don't know what the fukk you are doing?

I got a friend that works there :mjlol:
Their tier 1 support guys suck for the most part. I feel like i know more than most of them. These mofos seem to just look up articles of previously reported issues and regurgitate the words to you verbatim :dry:

Ask your boy if he can help me with a volume thats's getting out of control. We're using snapshots but we have deleted over 50G of data to make room yet the shyt never recuperates the space.

i'll make one up from memory

var a = { x:1,y:2,z:3};
var b = {x:2,y1:2,z1:3};

function combine(a,b) {
for(prop in a) {
b[prop] = a[prop] ;
}
return b;
}

console.log(a,b);

x
1
y
2
y1
2
z
3
z1
3

is the result, see how b's x property is gone?

Breh, lookup up breakpoints..not only are they useful for debugging, but also learning. This way you can follow the execution of the code and see where the values are being change by stepping into them.

Just finished a second video interview. It was like an hour long, but I feel good about my chances. I should hear back by next Tuesday at the latest.
