Someone saw my answers (about a specific subject) in QA and offered me a job...
I do not know what to do yet...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

I had the same thing happen way back when in the days of the NNTP newsgroups (back in the mid/late 90's). I ended up doing a 2 month contract out of it, a well paid, fun little VB5 job.
Cheers,
Mick

That's probably why the job was offered to him.

Ah come on, in the days of VB5 there was not a lot of alternatives. No no no not turbo pascal!

Turbo Pascal (for CP/M no less) got me into PC programming, and earned me the "Outlaw Programmer" moniker I use today. It also got me my first PC programming job.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

You should be properly chuffed.
PS: I hope the job offer isn't from the prince of Nigeria.

Make absolutely certain it's not a scam would be the first thing that comes to my mind.
Google the company, check that it's legit (I have no idea how to do that, in your neck of the woods, but there must be a business registry of some kind), and then contact them using the contact details from their official registration (or web-site), not by clicking Reply in the e-mail.

Get my coat? I didn't even take it off.

Ok, "really interesting" isn't a good conversation starter though, more of a link dump

It is there to bait you into clicking on it. There are only two outcomes either you don't click and it will keep on bugging you as you don't know what you missed or you click on it and that was the whole intent in first place.

Think about what the guy in the video says, then think about how Harold pwned you what Harold said.
