I didn't think there was nothing I could not do.
And I remember going to that interview and they were hiring like data center technicians.
But what it paid.
And in my mind, I'm like, you only have to work for eight hours.
You don't have to issue any invoices.
And you get paid every two weeks no matter what.
No inventory?
This is crazy.
No way they're doing this.
And so I go and I remember doing that interview and I didn't know Linux that well.
And luckily for me, I knew FreeBSD well.
And as I'm answering the questions, I'm like, look, I am not an expert on Linux, not the way Google was asking these questions.
And it's like three people on the other side of this table just rapper firing.
And I remember I was like, I know FreeBSD.
I swear I got lucky.
This one of the interviews, I think they had a FreeBSD tattoo on their leg, the little beastie logo.
And I saw this logo, I'm like, oh, I'm saved.
And so we started going down the free BSD questions.
And I pass and I get this job in this data center.
And it was good because it's like, hey, I'm working with my colleagues, but it felt a bit slow because you only get one job.
