Essentially it seems to build down to knowledge of data structures and the ability to use them in concert to develop solutions on a whiteboard. There's more to it than that, but being able to code without an IDE is critical.

- maeon3 14y agoThe "choo choo choo" people make my skin crawl. Not sure why. It could be subconscious because everyone I've met in life who did that was not good for my career to associate with them.
- danielweber 14y agoPeople do this for real? I thought Yegge met one person who did it and was making a joke at that guy's expense. EDIT I suddenly got it. They're doing long exhales. I think my kids might do this when they're pretending to work. Then again, they are kids.
