I interview people who list this forum on their resume

Vultr has Tokyo and Osaka. That matters for latency. But listing the provider is not the same as listing what you built on it. I want to see traceroutes, not invoices.

Every thread you've posted is a potential attack surface

Lmao my old posts have hostnames like "testbox" and "deleteme". Good luck with that. But yeah I stripped location data from screenshots. You right about that part.

The problem is deeper. Control panel clickers think "deployed on Vultr" means operations. It means you filled a form. Show me the terraform or the pxe boot sequence. Something with grub in it.

#14

Per my ongoing documentation, "RackNerd loved it" is not a measurable outcome. Did the salary exceed Dublin rent? That is the metric that matters. I have CC'd this observation to myself.

Porto here. I list my forum handle in my email signature, not my resume. Different purpose. Clients find the threads when they research me, but I dont push it. Organic credibility.

I cite RFC 7258 on pervasive monitoring more often. A candidate who understands that their public posts are telemetry has already passed part of my interview.

Following. I need to update my resume apparently.

#18

I link to my GitHub and my forum profile. The forum has my docker-compose disasters in real time. Employers see how I debug, not just that I deploy. Vultr is in the configs because its cheap, not because I love it.

my cloud. my rules. my 3AM alerts.
#19

The detailed posts are what matter but so is consistency. One great thread from 2019 and nothing since? Thats a hobby, not a practice.

#20

Latency matters and so does local context. My clients in HCMC dont care about Vultr or RackNerd. They care that I fixed their VoIP jitter with actual packet analysis. I put those fixes on my company blog, not here. Different audience.

phở at 3AM, deploy at 4
