This was a big nosql company and when I brought up that said database could plausibly be used for data warehousing, the dude interviewing me looked at me like I had 3 eyes.
I meant netcat; but I know what you are talking about. Tried and true isn’t mongo level webscale!
I figured nc was some terminal utility, and I hope your intent is to point out that there are numerous “right” answers (in which case, thanks)

Was actually called by one of their recruiters, I think she found my linked in because I call myself a “linux enthusiast” on there, and sometimes I wonder if I should take that down but I haven’t yet. I guess I also messed up by telling executive dude that I was more of an relational db guy than nosql guy. Should’ve said something about mongo level webscale :)
