13 year old was asking for book recommendations. I'm torn between recommending the Thrawn trilogy and protecting her from the heartbreak of knowing how good episodes 7-9 could have been.
Everybody Loves Large Chests by Exterminatus.
It's still actively being written and is available on royalroad for free.

When a job has "Lead team development including resolve conflicts in technical approach among technical staff" as the first responsibility...
Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope
RUN AWAY FAST!!
USGS is not a bad section of the federal government to work for. I knew (casual acquaintance) a few people there in the St. Louis area. No idea if they are still there or not.
But that description is horrible.

USGS would definitely be a place I'd be more willing to look than most. But yeah.

That's because shrinking a filesystem isn't really something you want to be doing in production outside of the most extremely rare circumstance.

I agree. I couldn’t think of a good reason to do it, other than wanting to see how it can be done.

Firing squad. It’s for a replacement Citrix admin, so I don’t have much technical background about which to ask. I was curious to know what the candidate does to keep skills sharp and if they participate in any professional communities.

I did not, actually. Had $applicant mentioned they participated in any, I would've brought up ML.

It's a position that's for our "senior Citirx Admin" vacancy. You'd have to move to Georgia.

I'll have to take a look. One good thing about being a widower and no kids, I have nothing to make me want to stay in any particular place.
