General PSA: don’t apply for a job at Canonical. Do NOT apply for a job at Canonical. Treat the blatantly artificially enormous number of job openings they post as the mirages of trickster fae. They are unhinged. Mark Shuttleworth is unhinged. They will drag you through the mud, disrespect you and your time, and definitely not give you a job. This article I saw today is like the thirteenth of its kind that I personally have seen https://dustri.org/b/my-experience-with-canonicals-interview-process.html
My experience with Canonical's interview process

@0xabad1dea The fact that they try to force Snapd and Netplan down people's throats should have been a good deterrent

@XaetaCore @0xabad1dea what's wrong with netplan BTW? I don't mind it, but I also don't have a full grasp on how it works under the hood so I could be being swindled.

I am a snap hater though so I'm already aboard the roast canonical train.

@beaumains @0xabad1dea What i mind is that they are forcing you to use it, its their own software and it comes default on their systems, they also removed the /etc/interfaces file.

So all admins and users had to switch to a whole new stack out of nowhere because they couln'd get this tech to stick on other distros.

Flatpak imho is a way better alternative and using netplan instead of ifconfig/systemd-networkd/interfaces_file is just wierd.

Its forcing their own tech on its users because they don't want it to be a wasted investment.
And netplan has caused tons of issues on plenty of different production envs i have worked on for different companies too.

@XaetaCore @0xabad1dea those are all really good points. Its used by default on Debian cloudimg releases if I'm not mistaken, this saddens me.

Edit: netplan is indeed installed by default on Debian cloudimg releases
