"#Master Foo and the #Recruiter

A technical recruiter, having discovered that that the ways of #Unix #hackers were strange to him, sought an audience with #MasterFoo to learn more about #TheWay. Master Foo met the recruiter in #HR offices of large firm.
Recruiter said, β€œI have observed that Unix hackers scowl or become annoyed when I ask them how many years #experience they have in a new #programming language."
