floooooooood

@Lensflare Okay, well, according to a Senior I knew that told me:

- can independently build a product from scratch and fix problems without assistance

- can lead a team

- can argue about architectural decisions and make informed choices on these

- has relevant mastery in a number of popular programming languages/technologies

- can even act as a Principal

- is comfortable handling (very) complex problems

@Lensflare Seniors know.

@jestdotty I knewwwwwwwwww you would be the first to comment! High five! And... because. Because, jestdotty.

"Mike, please, 'relaxation therapist'."

It's cos them companiez liv on dahtaa.

@jestdotty o.o

@whimsical No need for comments like that.

@BordedDev Here's some more help if needed:

I hope it works out!!1!1!1

@Lensflare Indeed. Always test the output, iirc.

@Lensflare In computers, nothing is truly random, if I recall correctly. Depending on the acceptance range, I would say: define one and then see if the function always lands a Bell Curve.

Yes, I've done it once. I don't want to alarm you, but it was hard - for me at least (and I failed miserably). You basically have to know your basics (mine are rusty). If I think back... it's tests in the likes of sorting algorithms.

@BordedDev Yes, I saw it mentioned that people tend to burn out when they go through interview round after round for various interviews.

@BordedDev lolol

@jestdotty Thank you for your caring reply - I appreciate it.

I'm not immediately inclined to ask strangers/competition, but I could.

Sounds very Matrix, your explanation. Mhaha. ;p Nice.

Yes, even though I don't like it, I will probably have to find an environment that matches my current skills, or find one that asks me to push through and grow faster.

@jestdotty I have.

@jestdotty Damn straight. Git, git, gear (no pun on git, just Skate3 train with coach Frank)!

@jestdotty Those things are just a piss-off and dishonest. A proper company should first work on the product and only then sell it. Respect is paramount in all areas.

I like the visual as well. I don't like having to decipher colors or indentation on a commandline.

I don't know if I confused you but git stage is quite common; it's the first status of a three-stage commit (no pun intended). First you write your changes, then you stage them, then you commit them. https://git-scm.com/docs/git-stage

Yes, that is common to find your own text dumb. First drafts are often like that. That's what I learned in English writing class as well - always revise.

@jestdotty That reminds me... git status, stage, blame, history,...

@BordedDev git tag was part of the complexity.

@jestdotty unsynced NPC speaks: "Hey, could I interest you in some goods?"

@whimsical Nah, didn't destroy. Was just soul-sucking, as everyone else experiences.

@BordedDev At my previous job we needed rebase and we also needed to do release management every month, in addition to deploying the app to the cloud under CodeEngine and Kubernetes. Things.. are just not that simple sometimes. Then, depending on which team you worked for, some leads liked rebase, some liked the classic merge. And.. to top it all off, sometimes a team member messed up with the branches and we needed to cherrypick and... yeah.

After having read this and reflected on it for a moment, I come to the conclusion that this is a result of lazy, self-interested upper management. They just care that boxes are ticked and that as much work is offloaded from them so they can focus on butt-kissing the 'stakeholders'... Grah. Disgusting.

@BordedDev Yes, I tend to ask the latter. I also worked all on my own (because management asked it of me, but that's toxic).

@BordedDev in da cloud

@jestdotty For the characters question: so you gave him the framework but he just wanted a quick, ready-made solution? That shows they're the quick and dirty type.

Questions I absolutely hated: the three guys in a room wearing caps question. I thought out of the box and gave them such answers, talking about (meta)physics and they said I thought 'wrong' and just wanted me to give them to cookie-cutter answer. If they ever watched the movie The Internship, they would appreciate someone who thinks outside the box, but no. They all want the saaame guysss, thinking the same wayyy. Sigh. Boring.

I remember I got rejected at two interviews because I was being serious and they were constantly being frat bros. The amount of workplaces now that has frat bros is incredible. Jersey Shore.

HTML weekly newsletters. Lmao. :tears_emoji: 100 projects! That is impressive. :)

Yes, that's what humans want. They don't want people they can't grasp.

@jestdotty You make me laugh, jestdotty. lol

Yes, that's what most bravado slick-mouths do these days. They spend their time conning management.

@jestdotty Negotiation? Hm.
