As someone that has been building software for nearly 20 years, this is my number one priority - making it simple for the next developer to understand.
It annoys me when I have to do some hackerrank crap as an interview, as it's nothing like how I work - having a hard time limit to come up with some algorithm. Or some question about what Python will do if you write it in an obscure and horrible way. I write far better code than I did fresh out of universty, but I am a lot slower at that sort of stuff as I make a point of avoiding it in my work.
- hinkley 7y agoThe "hackerrank crap" gets into my head too. It's part of why I've been procrastinating on looking for a new job. I need to sort myself out. Instead of solving the problem, a corner of my brain is thinking "all I want to know right now is: is there a greater than 0 chance that this sort of code appears in a PR and if so, we are done."
