To be honest, considering the role they're applying for, I would reject their job application too even if it occurred inside a sandboxed environment.

They should know exactly what rm -rf does. The fact they didn't and they still arbitrary ran the command anyway... massive red flags. Could even say he failed to twart a social engineering attack.

The two cases, they knew what it was and they did it maliciously. They didn't know what they were doing and got socially engineered in the process. Both cases are cause for failure.

  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!
