A Senior Developer working mostly with PHP and JavaScript, with a bit of Python thrown in for good measure, all on Linux. My tooling is simple, it's GitLab and JetBrains where possible.
A couple of years ago I went for a development job where the tech test was to read and write data to a file. Nothing complicated, but my brain totally froze.
I'd had a couple of years off development at that point with a career side track into a non-technical role, but felt really embarrassed by not being able to do something so simple off the top of my head.
A quick Google later and it came flooding back. Didn't finish everything on the test but still got the job.
