   @Nudhul@shitposter.world Namely at FB/MS/Google/Apple/etc.
   
   The value of having worked at Google isn't working at Google, as much as being able to get a job literally anywhere. "Oh he worked at Google he must be good" is a cheat code to success. Replace it with any big name tech company and you're in.
   
   Working somewhere else doesn't exactly work if the name isn't one that someone has heard of.

     @Nudhul@shitposter.world a redditor found out the cheat code to getting a interview is to work at certain companies
     
     "My takeaways from this experiment is that applying for Software Engineering positions is very similar to the golden rule of Tinder:
     
     1. Work at FAANG
     
     2. Don't not work at FAANG"

     @Pawlicker so the fastpass to getting hired is to have already been hired previously?

     The three biggest hurdles to Linux adoption:
     
     Shitware for your shit job/games/some program you want won't run on it, if it does under wine nobody supports it (you should have seen a tech support wagie at HP when I was running one of the first open Windows 8 betas on my laptop with issues I was calling about, fun times), and wagies/normies want their windows badly.
     
     Go on your local job board and search for Linux jobs, they're all "we want 10 years experience and a clearance".
