What's your process like after that screening measure? Because to me, that's honestly trivial, and a lot nicer than dealing with an extended (8+ hours) homework problem as an introduction to a company's hiring process.

FizzBuzz? I find it hard to believe that FizzBuzz is being used as an actual screen, because realistically you'd have too many people passing. If anything, the interviews I've been on have been four or five 45-minute whiteboard se

That's an entirely reasonable assignment that I would accept doing. Unfortunately, there are definitely way more time consuming projects being handed out regularly.

There's knowing a programming language and where to look when you're unsure of the details, and there's knowing a programming language. I could write programs in the target language on a computer, easily, but on a whiteboar

It wasn't really 'trivia'. It was several hours of difficult problem solving without reference material, given access only to a whiteboard and a judge. The studying that would have led to a success: * Memorizing a significant

Initially I didn't study, then I failed to land a great job that I easily would have acquired with some dedicated studying.

It's really unfortunate to see how common it is to look down on people who spend their time differently. There are some tasks I wish to undertake that likely mean I would have to leave the office job experience for about a year. Given

Not if that biology student wants a decent life. There's not much money in science. It pays much, much more to be a mediocre dev.

Moderation is usually a thought-terminating cliche. Whenever there's a conversation among of those looking to examine the details, someone is around to dismiss the inquiry with "everything in moderation".

That's great! I really hope interviews like that become more common.

I had trouble with insomnia until I took up the practice of meditation. It was not my intention to solve my insomnia via meditation, but that's what happened incidentally.

There's no reason for them to assume it has anything to do with outsourcing housekeeping. Quite simply, an intact marriage and children are likely to provide men with the drive to produce for the sake of his family.

I like having 1-2 days per week available to me to work from home. I don't think I'd take a job offer without this as an option anymore. My quality of life has improved significantly with it.

I'm someone who cycles over my thoughts for long periods of time. Interviews really don't capture this at all, but it's one of my strongest intellectual assets.

I don't want to share the name, but it wasn't a typical tech giant, and the position was advertised as closer to entry-level as far as programming experience went. Toward the end of the day, the last interviewer grilled me hard an

The last interview I went on was almost an entire work day full of computer science and programming questions, with a break for lunch.

It takes less than 15min to be formally diagnosed with depression and prescribed SSRIs in the US. If you're bored you can watch the commercials on TV to learn that it's a chemical imbalance, and then repeat that fact every time a

I doubt it's a nocebo effect when you can even smell the difference. I have a reusable metal bottle and can tell when I've refilled it straight from the tap vs. a filtered water source.

My tap water does not taste good. I drink it most of the time but there's no fooling my taste buds; the bottled water tastes better.

All calories are not equal. Ask a diabetic to chow down on carbs. The body clearly doesn't treat all the macronutrients as interchangeable units of energy. To say, "a calorie is a calorie" helps none and allows people to beha

Carbohydrates make me fat. Maybe not you, but definitely me. There is no way around that and I've made peace with it.

One of the top posts in here is describing how to start your own opioid business. I'd consider that praise on some level, unfortunately.
