minecraft is going to have a field day


yeah I just dont get why we have to make the coding exercises algorithmic.

I care more about like, do I have to hold your hand or not? no I dont. Okay we are cool.


I'm not a fan of leetcode questions on a whiteboard, and I personally don't ask those. However for an online automated assessment, provided the question is reasonably time-boxed and not too crazy, I think that's fine, on both side of the interviews.


The questions available at CodeWars page seem the best for me: They are no "gotcha," algorithmic questions (except the higher level ones) and they allow for a good amount of problem solving.

The ones at LeerCode are asinine... oh, you dont remember Dynamic programming? Tough luck. Even if you really wont use it at all.


It has to be simple, not too hard. That first test is basically a screening. Will I invest an engineer's hour to try to figure you out?

Then, if you get to a whiteboard challenge, in those the end result is not usually what matters, but the process of problem solving is what you typically look for.

Can we communicate effectively? Will you thrive here?


If coding has taught me just one thing its.... keep your ego in a box.

If you need a job, do the fucking exam. if you dont, tell them to pound sand. Its as simple as the dynamic of power.


I dont trust it.


I dont get this. Is the constitution an NFT?!?!?!

owning the constitution does not need to be a financial transaction, this seems like a scam. we need less money in politics, not more.


Read the whole thing


Put PHI into a video game? What could go wrong? its not like you can mod roblox.... oh.

Well atleast video game code is nice and secur..... oh.


Congrats! we have gone back to software development pre-1980


so we will make our own DNS system with blackjack and hookers


Thus solving the problem once and for all!

but...

ONCEANDFORALL!


idk its still almost 1.5x as expensive for a 2 by 4 at home depot


The only price I watch is 2x6x10 cedar. They were up to $51 back in April, now they're back down to $33. Still seems high but good enough for me to get back to my projects.


I tried to speak cicada but I ended up just annoying the shit out of everyone and then dying after 3 days.
