[09:11:02] kenbolton: i had a weird job interview yesterday.
[09:11:31] waltd3: why was it weird?
[09:11:59] kenbolton: they started with "where do you see your career going?"
[09:12:37] kenbolton: i countered with, "my career is going in the direction i chose several years ago and i'm happy with the growth curve."
[09:13:20] kenbolton: but they were fishing for, "well i really want to do x", where x was one of machine learning, computer vision.
[09:13:46] kenbolton: so they explained that and i said, "yes, i want to be doing each of those things organically when necessary".
[09:14:36] kenbolton: that is when i cut them off and said, "look, i can give you about 40 hours per month. if that doesn't fit with your needs, we should end the conversation now."
[09:14:49] kenbolton: that blew their minds.
[09:15:32] kenbolton: "and if you expect that to be 40 hours on-site, then we have a cultural mismatch."
[09:16:21] kenbolton: this is for a greenfield project designing the architecture for their systems.
[09:17:36] kenbolton: which got me wondering if "cloud-first" architecture is even a reasonable goal. i've heard of no troubles moving architectures to AWS or OpenStack.
[09:18:12] kenbolton: oh, btw, http://www.fig.sh/ is the docker tool i had been missing.

[11:37:19] kenbolton: maybe "no troubles" is a bit of an exaggeration.
[11:38:21] waltd3: how’d they react to that
[11:38:22] waltd3: ?
[11:39:38] kenbolton: with surprise.
[11:40:09] kenbolton: but they said they appreciated me not wasting their time.
[11:41:55] kenbolton: waltd3: you would be a good candidate for the job, if interested.
[11:42:53] waltd3: prob not. i wouldn’t have an answer they were looking for either.
[11:43:01] kenbolton: seen
