+## Level 1 Questions
+1.   How would you prove the code is correct?
+	
+   	To prove the code is correct I suppose I could set up a test environment
+		where I could account for all connections and run tests like
+		ssh connections, dhclient or dig (dns) connections, nmap port
+		scans, and then ensure the connections I expect from the tests
+		appear in the program's output.
+   
+2.   How would you make this solution better?
+	
+   	I'd improve the solution by making the functions more focused on
+		specific tasks, improving how I present the interface of each
+		function to each other to more specifically eliminate type
+		or value errors. I'd also allot more time to complete the task
+		since I wasn't able to find enough before the deadline.
+3.   Is it possible for this program to miss a connection?
+	
+   	Yes, if the connection is brief enough so as not to last more than 10
+		seconds and thereby be missed by the most recent read of the
+		/proc/net/tcp file
+4.   If you weren't following these requirements, how would you solve the problem of logging every new connection?
+	
+   	I would likely find a solution that leverages inotify to detect any change to the file and then read it,
+		rather than polling it every 10 seconds.
+
+## Level 2 Questions
+1.   Why did you choose 'x' to write the build automation?
+	
+	I would simply choose bash, as it's what I'm most familiar with and it
+		can reliably use the go build tools as well as invoke testing
+		systems like kvm/qemu, docker/podman and the like.
+2.  Is there anything else you would test if you had more time?
+	
+  	If I had more time I'd spend it fleshing out my testing as outlined above
+		and doing a more thorough job of structuring my data in the way
+		that I've modeled it in my head - the choice of go definitely
+		consigned me to reading more than writing with the little time
+		I had. Should have gone with bash I think.
+3.  What is the most important tool, script, or technique you have for solving
+  	problems in production? Explain why this tool/script/technique is the most important.
+
+  	
+## Level 3 Questions
+
+1.  If you had to deploy this program to hundreds of servers, what would be your
+  	preferred method and why?
+
+	I would use ansible and use git to clone, build, and install the script.
+		This method is my preferred one because it's simple to
+		troubleshoot in the event that I run into issues and 
+		ansible doesn't require a central orchestrator node. It's
+		also the Infrastructure-as-code tool I'm most familiar with.
+2.  What is the hardest technical problem or outage you've had to solve in your
+  	career? Explain what made it so difficult?
