I don’t need to post my resume there. (Many are embellished) Plus, LinkedIn has had numerous hacks. My resume that I wrote decades ago and just added to with each employer, got me offers galore, was 100% factual, and my interview skills got me hired. I was never unemployed. And never had a bad review. Sent from Yahoo Mail for iPhone On Monday, September 4, 2023, 4:35 PM, g...@gabegold.com <g...@gabegold.com> wrote: Too funny. Basic research (LinkedIn, etc.) would have revealed my degree. Research ability is another important system programming skill you haven't exhibited. You've listed dozens of places you've worked (with apparently consistently short tenures) and various products you've touched but haven't said a word about anything you've accomplished. Claimed employers and skills and credentials are worthless without something to show for them. Listing my projects done using assembler language is simply stating facts. Your listing your degree and places you've worked is indeed irrelevant puffery. Now let's return to your nonsensical assertions about assembler language.
