Another justification could be simply some people like using them better.

Funny enough, the awful UI in Windows 8 (especially the start menu) drove me to become a mac daily driver.

You need a compliance department and attorneys to look over licenses and agreements. It's a real hassle and not really related to cost of the license itself.

The only patch to FreeBSD I maintained was hacking up FreeBSD 2.x to embed Hughes mSQL to back getpwnam etc and radius/tacass. I also needed to exceed the uid limit and came up with hacky uid for the customer and gid as the account letting each customer have the 30k or whatever account ids. I shared the idea with friends at Teleport ISP in Portland who ended up doing something similar with Oracle I think. I think the same sort of thing lead to vservers that best.net used with BSDi and eventually FreeBSD jails was developed and significantly better than my hack job so I migrated the isp over to using jails.
FreeBSD or Linux management plane on routers/switches is mostly irrelevant. The majority of the data simply flows through the asics untouched.
Another observation, using the host cpu to manage the nvme storage for vod content is also a bottleneck. You can use the liqid 8x nvme pcie cards and address them directly from the bluefield3 arm processes using nvme-of. You are then just limited by pcie 5 switch capacity among the 10-20 shared nvme/bluefield3 cards.
I haven’t read post yet but I used to work in this space @cable. The nice bit with bluefield3 is you can run nginx on the on-board arm cores which have sufficient ram for live hls usecase. You can use liqid pcie fabric and support 20 bluefield nics off a single cpu 1u box. You essentially turn the 1u box into a mid-tier cache for the nics. Doing this I was able to generate 120 gig off each nic off a 1u hp + the pcie fabric/cards. I worked with liqid and hp lab here in Colorado prototyping it. Edit: I ran the cdn edge directly on nic using yocto linix.

I worked for another company creditnet.com that started a bit before authorize.net basically wrapped ICVerify dialup verification using PGP to encrypt merchant to processor request/response.

I ran a few toll-free bbs systems in the late 80s and early 90s. Started with AmiExpress and Paragon then ended up with Renegade, PCExpress, and Maximus. Cott Lang used to dialup and chat. I stopped running Renegade, Telegard, and Celerity/x when the backdoors became rampant.

Bob sounds autistic. Not exactly perfect. The anything I cam do to help response isn’t great. He doesn’t sound capable of identifying opportunities without direct guidance.

They don’t want to lose Bob. They need to promote him to ease the workload of the overloaded manager and mentor the other developers. Bob can be a force multiplier. They could take on more business or expand their product. The manager is the problem not Bob.

Pro tip for you. The interview isn't about writing a working solution, it's about communicating your thought process. You are focusing on the wrong thing if you don't want interruptions. As for "bonus" questions at end, again it's how do you deal with changing requirements, how well do you understand the problem etc..

The only thing I liked about this company was Camille Fournier and her tech talks. I still like Camille Fournier, not this company.
-5% to share in the increased profits?
