Linux Engineer, 53. When my cow-orker lent me the book version of "No Country For Old Men" saying "Here, this is going around", I figured I might be in trouble. I was laid off in the middle of the bad times, could not find anything for years, and have been rebooting my career since then.

In my last interview, the recruiter said I was ruled out because I was "weak on nginx". The interviewer didn't ask about nginx, but you know, whatever.
