I would prefer your kind of test a hundred times over the one on top here.

That said, why would they expect you to know the css color values by heart? I see no usecase for that.

It just came up in a discussion. The test was to spot mistakes in some HTML code. I marked the "gray". The guy I did it with said that that's not a mistake. At least he thinks it's not. We were musing about that for a minute and later found out that I was wrong. Nothing major. I just felt stupid about it.

I felt especially stupid because he seemed to be rather important. While everyone's e-mail address was firstname.lastname@company.tld his was joe@company.tld.

But he was just a nice guy and apparently I did well and got my rather high salary approved.

  • 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.

    Important: never execute code or follow advice that you don't understand or can't verify, especially here. The word of the day is credibility. This is a meme community -- even the most helpful comments might just be shitposts that can damage your system. Be aware, be smart, don't fork-bomb your computer.
