> Manager level to replace the dumb question manager. His were all Mac terminal eye candy. He did not get the job

Huh? Please explain

We hired the guy who said it was a dump question, he became our manager. He then decided to retire and we had to replace him. One of the candidates answered the 5 cli question with terminal eye candy, not functional commands. He was not hired for the job.

Yeah that’s what you said. I was asking you to explain.

It seems ridiculous to classify any terminal command as “eye candy” and what’s the point of asking the question if you want to hire someone that finds it stupid?
