Oh, yes. It is definitely not uniformly integrated. If you took a census, I suspect you'd find that the distribution of racial diversity in Oak Park is a direct reflection of the distribution of racial diversity plotted against income

Sorry to correct you, dear... I think there are 5 or 6 completely white households on our block out of 39 houses total.

Starfighter had a tedious interview script for onboarding clients that was supposed to help us understand the "states and the definitions" of the stages of their hiring process. Only one of the clients I interviewed -- and I think

If you take us to Black's and pick up the tab, I'm there next week.

There was no element of that. The frustration was mostly 'the client's hiring process is a mess.' On our part, the one piece of work we needed to do to sell Starfighter better was to write some 'accessible prose' o

Talking to every candidate (the ones that were loosely designated as 'mine') turned out to be my most favorite part of this whole deal. In some ways, even better than having an opportunity to write an AVR emulator. These guys are

Did you attempt the second set?

Yes. That is his word for tweet. I'm glad one of us thinks it's cute. :-)

What's keeping me from exercising right now is a recovering ankle sprain. It shouldn't be -- there is a lot I can do that will not aggravate the injury, but none of this is part of my routine. Habits and routine seem to take some

Elaborate? These tests are pretty common in interviews. I'd be curious to know what you're thinking.

Or that some applications write their own cookie handlers (which are injectable). Or that some frameworks don't handle the request header properly. Or that you'll sometimes see custom headers that you can donk with. Being clever a

Skimmed the responses, and I don't think anyone has said this, so... Write a web app. Find the least friendly, most bare bones server in whatever your favorite language is (sinatra, flask, gin-gonic). Write as much of the MVC stuff as

Hm. So tempting.

s/fine/crappy. Alas, all I can say is maybe. Because this emulator doesn't have some of the components that, say, an Arduino UNO might have, it doesn't support the entire AVR instruction set. For example, there is no UAR

Clarify? Are you asking if you'll be able to compile something with avr-gcc and upload it to the emulator? If so... maybe. All of my test code was compiled with Crosspack AVR libc. The bundle has its own test code which was very useful

Also true for large coding projects. At some point, you have to identify the components that will need to be built and portion them off into approachable tasks. In this case, the first task is agreeing on the 'heretofore unsolved probl

Believe me, that has crossed my mind. This is where the segue into training comes. We've discussed it. As a woman, my one experience of being allowed to play outside and beyond the hiring process is pretty consistent with the anecdotal

We do not have access to the µc data, any longer. That belongs to Matasano. I am now sad that I did not ask myself the same question and pay closer attention while I did. However, this is what I am hoping and dreaming for: that work-sample

Good point. Something I'll keep in mind as we go forward. I got so far through microcorruption and ran out of time. Thanks.

Every time I sit down to solve a problem with code, I feel dread. Every time I even think about strapping on my skates, I feel so much dread that my stomach hurts. I think that dread cannot be decoupled from hope. And that this is especiall
