@Lilienthal Good morning. Would it be ok to remove the sticky stars from the star gallery? They've been up there for over 10 days now and that episode has long past now....
I'm applying for a job and part of the process is to complete a coding test that passes criteria as defined by tests.
The tests seem to be flawed in the sense that they are biased to a certain way of doing things, e.g. ordering output in a strange way, which causes my output with a more intuitiv...
@MaskedMan I think people are assuming that the OP can't complete the test. It's equally possible that the test is flawed or that the candidate is expected to identify and report the fact that the test is flawed (which is a good test in itself).
@Snow I "fixed" the question a bit to avoid that misunderstanding.
I would even say it is expected that the candidate pushes back when the question is not clear, especially at mid- to senior level programming roles. Folks who start writing code without reviewing the assumptions made in the question have "junior" written all over their face.
@MaskedMan agreed.. the "soft skill" of being able to push back/clarify any areas of concern in a spec is something I'd expect in more senior developer.
For example, I once asked an interview candidate a pretty simple question: If I give input as Hello world, your program should print 42.
Most candidates would just write an if statement and be done with it. One extraordinary guy asked me about 20 questions before he even started writing anything. :)
What is the programming language? Is the number an integer or floating point? Is the input given on the console or in a file? What is expected when the input is not Hello World? Is it expected that there will be other cases added in future? and so on ...
@Nofel it's just an idiom meaning to say something as it really is
@Nofel none of those are dumb questions..and I wouldn't consider a dev who asked them as dumb. The fear you feel about the PM possibly abusing you? That's a perfect example of what your current working environment has done to you right there :)
I had met only one guy who was CEO beother, and a awesome developer who was super cool, Like Once I broke a live website, I was hesitant to ask first but I asked coz he had non angry nature, he was good with DB so he replaced with old db and even though I was laid off by "u should be giving us money not we giving it to u", he thanked me for telling me things he didn't know, although he was a champion of that framwork but he thanked me for bits a bob and how I know little detail snr dev misses
yes I something imagine in my mind, my PM hitting me for asking dumb question
like @TheSnarkKnight said, this job has affected my marital life. All I care about of getting enough sleep to wake up on time and not miss train
Hope so, In my religion there is a thing where u can ask Allah to guide u and it comes in many shapes, dreams, people advise etc. It is a special prayer u read out before off to bed
last night I saw a strange dream
It mind sound funny or unrealistic but it is something in my religion
For example, one guy wrote an if statement in Python. I looked at the code, and remarked, "Oh, Python? We don't use Python." Then it occured to him to ask, "Which language should I use?"
@MaskedMan like @motosubatsu said, I have dreaded to ask such questions fearing a misfire which will put me misery
e.g once I didn't understand the scope of this and I shared with my colleague next o me, he didn't rectified me well bt told it to PM, when I was laid off, that was one reason given to me
@TheSnarkKnight we all r humans, If I say that I will be smarter at my new job and not repeat my mistakes of etting my guard off will be wrong thing. we learn and filter out
@MaskedMan I reflect on my yrs and what started it, It isn't the first one (current one), it is over span of time but like I said I had some great ones but I blame myself too as few recuiter got me in a bad spot with good people which ended bad (laid off and reason was u should give money to us not us to u")
being here has made me learn to keep my head down and rock on, give ur best.f** the rest
@Nofel I was very concerned because I saw where you were heading in that old job. Like I said, I did the same thing, but went all the way to losing my job, my family, my home and my mind. No doubt, they are freaking out at losing you, better they lose their minds than you lose yours
I use to or wanted to become full stack bt I gave up on that and reduced my area of expertise and unless I m expert in that, I won't look for another subject
e.g I told my manger how to talk on CROS (server to server), bt I cannot implement it coz of lack of hands on knowledge, so now I will talk only what I can apply and If i can talk I will apply it
@TheSnarkKnight thanks, here I found fountain of hope and advise otherwise I would have suicided my career without having another
the next one will be hard but I am ready to take it on head on and turnaround what I don't know instead of listening to "don't do that, u will break it" when I know I wouldn't
I saw that "don't do that" creep into my life, I started saying my toddler, "don't touch that u will break it" and my marital life flames going off
@TheSnarkKnight Inside I feel scared of thing I donno abt of new job bt I tell myself, Either I can take mental posion here and be dead mentally n spiritual or I can take a wild ride and even if I get laid off in next one, I will take away what I don't know to jon the missing puzzle
@Nofel "Don't do that" is about the most toxic thing you can be fed. As you may have guessed, I can be a bit brash, bold, outspoken, and at times obnoxious. For a programmer, these are GOOD THINGS. You need to be brash enough to make mistakes. If you don't make mistakes, you don't learn, if you don't learn, you don't innovate. Go in, be BOLD have the attitude of "I can't believe they pay me to do this" and READ THOSE BOOKS!!! ;_
My BA has just been complaining that the BI team is getting currency exchange calculations wrong. So he asked me to help. So I sent him some SQL that calculates to his specs. "No, they're wrong too". And then "Oh, now my calculations don't make sense either...!"
@MaskedMan Joe wouldn't summon Rep, Rep summons Joe
We have rep points only because the original measure was to be Joe, and everyone would be rated as a percentage. Then they found that they would run out of memory calculating that many decimal points.
@TheSnarkKnight strange it might sound, but where I got the new offer is place I am fond of very much and the near school for my toddler is the same which I saw once and I was "wow".
@TheSnarkKnight totally :) I love the way they handled it when he'd come out with some insane-sounding theory (e.g. that Supergirl was a clone) and everyone would give him patronising looks only for him to be proved right

@Snow ugh.. don't even mention that abomination! it's the only thing that prevents the execrable Attack of the Clones from being the Worst. Thing. Ever. in the Star Wars filmography
@MisterPositive Fortunately I've managed to limit my inebriated SE actions to chat. God knows what I would end up posting as actual answers if I tried that while under the influence!
^ in case it wasn't clear there I understand you were joking and weren't actually drunk
@Snow the whole thing is like a patchwork quilt made out of several different people's acid trips. Only weirder.
So I slapped an answer to help the OP on a legal like question that I just so happen to have experience with. From a community perspective, is that ok or should I have just provided the info in comments? @TheSnarkKnight @ChrisE
@MisterPositive if you want to answer there is nothing stopping you. You may get grief if you post trash. Even though the question is off topic (and some users prefer to refrain from answering them) it is noble and useful for the OP to get at least one answer before they shut down and burn their post
I am new in the HR roll and I schedule a lot of out of state interviews and it was my thought what if....so I asked it they have a doc in place just in case an interviewee is a no call no show. I will see about reaching out to the legal dept. thanks for your feed back
How I would say it:
Hey c***s***er I've booked this meeting room so get the f*** out! Book the room next time you want to use it. Douchebag! Also don't leave biscuit crumbs all over the desk and clean up that Marmite before you leave..... A**hole!.

Interesting thing happened here
The first part of that answer should be deleted, the second part is good advice
His responses in commentary made it clear he was trolling. It's like what children do. "I did a good thing, so you should over look the intentional bad thing"
@DavidK Yeah, Kilisi and I share the bluntness gene. His is more due to the fact that he is not a native speaker of English, whereas with me, it's in my neurology.
Why are blunts called blunts? Do they put you in a Blunt state? Does Kilisi smokes Blunts before answering? Will Viethni come back to wreck havoc again? Did Nofel break another kettle?.... find this AND MORE on the next episode of ..... Da Workplace
