    Make sure you are including basic, qbasic ,quick basic, ti-basic, visual basic, and visual basic for applications. You gotta pump those numbers up

      Now that you mention it, I might have used as many different basics as all other languages combined.

      In addition to those you listed, I’ve used VIC basic, Apple Basic, Pick Basic, Z-Basic (that one was nice, with a cross platform compiler and device independent graphics) and I bet there are a couple I’ve forgotten about.

    I put Haskell as last language on my CV, despite it being the language I’m most comfortable with and genuinely like, just because I don’t want to be “that” guy

    EDIT: I’ll never put TI-84+ calculator ASM on my CV, but damn, I’m proud I knew it in secondary school

      I did my bachelor thesis in Haskell. Never used it again. Hopefully never will. Still on my CV.

          Yeah, it was fun until it was a huge project. I even was tutor in a lecture about Haskell and SQL once even though I hated SQL. Now I tell people in my job interviews what a great SQL tutor I was

    Our hr recently sent us a list of people who were interested in a position we requested. So on behalf of all of us: fuck you with a thorny stick.

    When I last had to job hunt (2016) - I just jinxed it didn’t I? - I was complimented by interviewers for separately listing “Classroom experience” and “Professional experience”

    I think you get a lot of points for a resume that says “I may or may not be the best fit for you, and that’s ok. Here’s accurate information, so you can make that determination for yourself. I trust you.”
