okay. Just had an interview for a web application engineer role. It was a catastrophe. Basically, they are taking care only of things I was never worked with, like certification management, ansible deployments, bash scripting. ?? What? Like, what the hell? Guys, I can make you a nice javascript game, or laravel website, eventually mount the routers and switches, configure and automate the networks, but certs... for me ssl is just an extra checkbox when I'm buying a new domain. I asked the recruiter like 5 times, please tell me what the hell is the role about, he doesn't knew... I think, I'll just give up this applying for a jobs stuff, and stay maintenance engineer, dig into plc-s and etherCat even more and forget the IT career completely...

    Web application engineer is a title I have not heard, but everything you mentioned could fit into that.

    But yes it seems the recruiter/interviewer is not very knowledgeable in the area :/

    I've long suspected most of what you do in a year could be wrapped up in a long weekend.

    @HiFiWiFiSciFi Why is this comment completely unrelated to anything?

    Oh, I just meant that running up some certs, attaching them to hosting instances, and publishing through Ansible doesn't strike me as particularly hard enough to constitute a job in and of itself... and if it did... well, give me about 6 hours to read some Ansible docs and we're good.

    Like, those are very specific, but also very "low bar" things to be disqualifying for the position, IMO

    @HiFiWiFiSciFi The first question was: tell me the three main ssl certificate authorities? And then: Which module of apache take care of the ssl certificates? ...While I was waiting for programming related questions. I mean I can learn it too, but C'mon.
