So is this a legit account, it was created 99 days ago which seems kind of short for someone as wired in as Rob should be, can anyone on this site confirm that the account is indeed Rob? I don't mean to be skeptical but it's the kind of thing that could kill the credibility of the site. A site full of people that pride themselves on being critical (polite but critical, I remind you) being duped does not bode well for…
It wasn't Rob, but the account was handed over to him a while ago. You can check his blog to confirm that.
I don't think I've ever seen a resumé covering a 14-year tech/tech-related career that fit on one page.
I should get him to the post his joke resume. It's not even just one page, it's two lines on one page.
Rob -- you're like Superman. Could Superman have a resume? Seems like you'd just give them a card that said "I'm f*cking CmdrTaco, damnit!" (The reference here is to a famous fake letter said to be from Sean Connery to Steve Jobs http://www.exophrine.com/2011/06/sean-connery-to-steve-jobs-... ) Seriously, it brings up a good point. If you have lots of name recognition, what's the best way to look for work? I'd sugges…

That's not irony. Also that's probably not even true, I would guess that cmdrtaco keeps reading slashdot for old time's sake if nothing else (you don't erase 14 years easily), and in 2011 it turns out you can visit several websites instead of giving allegiance to the One and only.
Indeed; and I tend to think of visiting HN, Reddit etc as like going to visit my kids/grandkids. They've grown so much!

Thank you for your recent resume. Unfortunately, we have no openings for any experienced slashdot.org's at this time.
We shall keep your resume on file and will contact you should an opening arise.
Yours sincerely,

You're confusing me Rob. You want to be someone's employee, follow someone else's vision, get a regular paycheck, dental plan yada yada - and yet you want to change the world. Again. It's definitely possible to do, but not as likely, and resumes are a bit played out, esp. for someone with your credentials. Yep. Totally confused.
