Congratulations, you'll do fine, or, you'll learn lots from it :)

Don't sweat it about the coding interview. Just make sure you explain how you think. You don't need to be accurate, just show the important steps for moving towards goal.

(It's not the solution you are checked for its the process for getting towards a solution - doesn't have to be correct as long as you can reason about your solution and if it would solve the problem).

I rather think you should ponder on these questions:

Why would YOU like to work for this company?
What do YOU hope to learn while being there?
What do you think YOU can contribute with and why?

@kamen yup. Unknown if switching to ssd would change anything. Never seen hdd-usage increasing during this time :(

come join us on the c++ side where fixing issue is 10 min work and overhead is 4h work. Game development will be fun they said... :)

I wish I could tell you that your in a bad company but... I really think this is something everyone has experienced :/

...And then your product grows and is used by millions of people and all of a sudden those <0.001% bugs happens all of the time and no one can explain why or reproduce them :/

Maybe because the world and a company is more than a web page. For other companies it might be the most important thing.

You should probably study your company's economic history and plans for future if you want to know "why" it seems unimportant with frontend devs.

no, not really interested in linguistics.

It is hard writing simple code. I mean really frigging super hard. What I have noticed is that "simple programs" are usually quite state less and where code tries to work on pure 'data objects' being passed in instead of states/member variables or other classes state.

I was lucky enough to go on paternity leave for 8 months after living with that situation for a while and during that time I hardly used any electronic devices ... Make sure you tend to it asap, it will only get worse. and no it won't solve itself if you continue doing what you are doing.

@simeg shared/core components AAA-Games

We (1000+ devs on same code base) usually don't comment much. The comments you run into are similar to:

if(foo && specialCase) {
resetUser () //my_name&project - need to clear all user settings to avoid corrupt userContextObject if application will return from suspended state with same user before timing out against some but not all sub-systems (jira wsxp-1148)
}

Then during next chill period we go through the important core/engine files and see where most divergences/diffs are between projects and try to rewrite that in a better way.

of course we do... If you have something cool to show, a drive and passion for your area, been modding something etc.

and 6/10 times it works every time :)

I know that feeling all to well. Hang in there, chill, don't take it personally, do your job without overtime, search for a new job, don't speak bad about current work situation and take it as a learning experience.

There are tons of bad employers, and a lot of new opportunities. Next place might fit you better :)

I guess it's the same as with my wife who is a "cancer doctor". As soon as someone here's the word "doctor" they start asking here for advice on weird ailments, infections, broken limbs and their parent/grandparent who has a restless leg.

Watching her deal with those questions/people has really made it easier for me to deal with hardware/it related questions.

I have the strongest urge to go "the office" on xb1 dev kits

Same feature as in "we didn't have a design or idea of what we wanted" Or is it just a massive feature?

Actually I think your boss might be right here. New layout might scare loyal visitors.

Depends a lot on the site though and what it is meant to showcase and what the changes are.

But there's a big risk that someone will no longer find the content/button they need "that was always there" and then stop using site next time that happens.

MS & Sony raised certification issue due to message "Party is full" when trying to join a game party. They wanted it to say "Could not join party, party is full" :(
