In the real world you could just make them wear a hat with a flashing red light on top but that wouldn't work here... or would it? I wonder whatever happened to that kid (can't recall his name) who used to participate here. At 15 years old we all knew he was only a student but he was such a standout that it was easily overlooked. | |
| Jan 11, 2012 at 9:04 | comment | added | Chopper3 | I totally appreciate that SF is almost certainly not the place to do this but I just like the idea of us 'adopting' a smart newbie and helping them. 99% of questions by new sysadmins or student ARE utterly crappy and they don't deserve the time to answer them but there must be at least one humble, switched-on guy out there who'd respond really well to a bunch of us taking some time with them and along the way documenting some basic stuff in a slightly less rigid way than the Q&A format dictates. No idea what to do with the idea though tbh, just want to add somehow. | |

| Jan 11, 2012 at 3:44 | comment | added | John Gardeniers | @Rob, true but how does that apply to students? | |
| Jan 10, 2012 at 22:33 | comment | added | Rob Moir | "especially the very key part about SF being for professionals." - someone taking their first job inside a profession is still a professional. Or at least close enough to deserve the benefit of the doubt. | |
