   Complex interview questions do test technical know how but they also test for an emotional response. If one poses frustrated, defeated, angered, irritated, confrontational, arrogant, or even defiant, the interviewer will end the interview e

   But by outright saying the interview process is broken one sorta kinda fails the soft skill test, no?

   Are we talking about industry programming? A good programmer knows how to get in and out, and retire early, and spend the rest of their days working on projects that fulfill their needs

   I was being serious. I'd rather write what I find interesting. CS fundamentals are interesting to me. I'm not implementing linked lists in C++; the standard library is for that. Please don't flame bait

    C is great, because I can spend more time building linked lists, btrees, and other computer sciency on the clock than the stuff that actually makes the company money - business software.

    It baffles me that anyone would want to tie the entirety of their self worth to their corporate career. Personally, no amount of extra effort has ever led to the reward I deemed suitable, so why work harder? The winners are the 0.75x - 1.5x

    Based. If what you're working on isn't even within the same realm as corporate, why should they care? Build it, get a new job, and release it. Stop letting corporate take what isn't theirs

    r/programming isn't exactly a welcoming community. Hackernews is far more professional in my experience, especially with side projects. Puns here are kept to the minimum, and people are generally supportive and constructive

    Sure, but even something like `int main() {}` relies on an operating system, the C runtime, a standard library, and hardware to boot. Best build the universe to make an apple pie

    I'm from Canada. I make ~$100k/yr at the moment. It's considered a top 10% salary. I am content. Top 1% here is ~$200k/yr. It's a lot of money, but not a lot of money is needed frankly for the average Canadian. I do

    Money really doesn't much once you've hit financial independence. I can live out the rest of my days with $1m invested. $200K-$500k annual salary, hell, even $100k, is enough at that point.

    All games use some form of OOP polymorphism until cache misses outpace code readability. Entity systems (think of C unions with enums for the type) fix most cache coherency performance issues [1]. On Bedrock chunks are just stored in a fork

    Why thank you. They've all been passion projects and they were all published only after numerous rewrites. Roman2 ended up being the pinnacle of my work. I sadly don't know to work on next. Never thought I'd run out of ideas,

    I did not notice. Neat. I appreciate the PS1 more. Remembering way back, N64 carts were 10 dollars or so more than PS1 discs, and as a result I had a stockpile of PS1 games. The texture popping of the PS1 I could never make sense of but it
