I got interviewed in the latest round, I'm generally one of those people that tends to no pay attention to l33tc0d3 shit for interviews because I think my skills speak for themselves. Additionally no matter how well I do when coding at home or at work I have never passed a code interview. I knew it was going to be a problem with my interview for amazon, the truth is I have Generalized Anxiety Disorder, I was fully expecting to fail. I did so spectacularly. I don't understand why its necessary to do these stupid test, I have some serious accomplishments under my belt and I know I'm a real solid developer but these coding tests are fucking stupid, menial, and don't accurately depict my abilities. For example the position I was looking for was with the Identity product. I thought I would be a shew in. I have written OIDC and SAML providers from scratch by only observing how existing ones work via http calls. I thought that's got to be a unique skillset, I bet they'll give a test that fits in my wheel house. But the fucking question was about 3d geometry. What the fuck do I know about 3d geometry? I imploded, I couldn't think, I panicked, I failed. Fuck em.
