Someone should update that Wikipedia page with this one though. Lost Nigerian astronaut is definitely a new twist to an old con.

There's some great advice in the previous comments to your post. My only suggestion relates to cooking at home. If you need to learn more about cooking, I have two words for you. Actually a pair sets word pairs: 1. Alton Brown 2. Good Eats If you don't know who Alton Brown is then you've never seen "Good Eats" either. Do yourself a favor, Google him and check out his YouTube channel and watch the episodes of "Good Eats." You'll learn to cook for yourself (and others) and love the science he brings to the kitchen.

Our team uses SEP TeamWorks. It is free and works off of a TFS query to display the WorkItems. SEP TeamWorks groups the WorkItems by State and, optionally, horizontally into swimlanes grouped by any WorkItem property you choose. The "Cards" SEP TeamWorks displays for the WorkItems are customizable so you can have them display the ID, StackRank, StoryPoints, Name & one or two other bits of information right on the Kanban board. Did I mention free?

Jeff Atwood had a good blog on this a few months back. This is known as the Years of Experience Myth[^. Aside from showing how ignorant of the technology the recruiter and/or manager is, this also shows the company doesn't really understand programming or programmers:

"It's been shown time and time again that there is no correlation between years of experience and skill in programming. After about six to twelve months working in any particular technology stack, you either get it or you don't."
