(Slightly off-topic) I said this on twitter, but just realized that I never said it here ( > 140 chars this time): Daniel, your blog is great! It has quickly moved on to my "must read" list. I don't know how you do it every day, between

Sorry OP, I realize that you're just trying to be helpful sharing what's worked for you and I appreciate that, but frankly, I hate posts like this... I think the best preparation for any interview is to simply get good at what you do. All t

Reminded me of this line from "Back to the Future": Doc: I'm sure that in 1985, plutonium is available at every corner drug store, but in 1955, it's a little hard to come by.

It sure looks like you've been through quite a bit and, at the very least, deserve some brutally honest feedback from this community. Many may not agree with me and this may not make you feel much better, but after reading your experience,

How should I be evaluating myself? The only metric that matters is the delta between what you know and what you need to know to build what you have to build. How do you find out what this is? By building that which must be built. When you

Funny, every time I read "puzzle" or "brainteaser", I think, "I don't know why manhole covers are round," or "Who gives a shit that it took 7.612 seconds for my program to identify the 78,498 prime numbers less that 1,000,000." (Yes I know,
