Not learning data structures and algorithms. Not learning programming languages. Actually not learning anything to answer during a job interview.

I am more of a learn-while-you-do kind of guy. I never learn anything, instead just do it. Interviewers think I am useless because I know nothing. But I can get a job done, any kind of job done. I have no learning period, I can start working from first day in a all new language, in a all new IDE, in a all new OS.

I know nothing, and I learn nothing. I am a problem solver. You got a problem, I can solve it.

    I used to say that too, but after I learned the theory I realized that it was just an excuse

    The thing is that you read the code way more often than you write it. The hard bit is not writing code, but writing maintainable code.

    Working on a code base that was written to 'just work' is one of the most painful experiences you can get in this industry :(

    @novopl Over the time, I have gained experience to write code better than that 'just works'.
