Numbers and shit @Nyaboron

sounds gay

The sad thing is that lots of really top notch experts will fail those kinds of tests because sometimes they ask things like, "What's the second argument to X?" and the experts are probably just looking things up or letting their IDE complete it for them, and simply won't know.

I really hate working with the kind of person who would pass a test like that.

They're generally useless.

If they spend all day memorizing the function names and arguments, they're probably not spending any time figuring out the broad-brush concepts.

memorizing function names? maybe on some obscure libraries, but basic stdlib functions you better know IF you claim to be proficient in a language

Yeah that's true if it's something you're bound to be using every day then checking if you know it is important.

like claiming to know java but not knowing scanners

or hashmaps

I'm a datascientist I just use stack overflow and python what's the problem with that?

LOL

Also why do all the pajeets get jobs and I don't?

Oh and then some of the test are um I'll post it in pictures

ive got a friend whos a data scientist, and hes always bitching that his supervisor doesnt know muhc

Even so, asking that stuff is still bad. If you just sit them down and ask them to work it out or demonstrate, and you see them actually looking that up... but they were able to figure out what to look up, and they were able to solve the problem, and they demonstrate an understanding of the broader concepts, and they were concerned about how readable and clean everything is... then that guy's hired. I don't care if he doesn't know a really basic function name, after seeing that.

he just graduated

The coding interviews have a very specific purpose

but they're really only for new grads

Blame the Pajeets with fake diploma mill degrees and the declining quality of US schools

yea i dont think anyone will fail you if you get the broad strokes

Go look at that picture I put in pictures

If the grads can pass the high end theory stuff then the employer knows they can learn what they put in front of them even if it's not that important or useful

That's literally the only point, to see if they were able to learn what they were supposed to be learning

My number one advice is to just start coding and don't stop. Make projects, and contribute to other people's projects. Skills will come if you do that.

I'm coding right now in brainfuck

I promise Iw on't stop

my employers are going to be really impressed with my brainfuck projects

eww

you're typing right now, GET BACK TO WORK

you would pick brainfuck lol

I have two frog pads

*whip crack*

I type code with one hand

and I shitpost with the other

Which one do you wank with then?

I have a sex robot for that you cretin

LOL

So I guess the coding hand, indirectly.

I've been so obsessed with learning blender and zbrush lately I haven't done much programming lately
I was planning on building online multiplayer stuff for a game

Why do they make new monitors too smart for their own good
