@DavidRicherby either they weren't, or it weren't their default settings. It means that around the beginning of the 80's, most of screens were able and most common os switch their settings to display lower case. Then the full caps became the "SHOUTING" thing.

4 sicks days in 6 months is a problem ?? To me you might just have a frailer health than other but that's all. Btw wasn't there advertising about covid stuff where if you start to not feeling well, it might be a better idea to not come instead of spreading whatever you have to coworkers ?

I love the combination of "Luck has nothing to do with my success, I never envy others' good luck". Make me feel like i'll be treated as a slave without the right to complain that it's the others that will get the reward :D

Well for the COVID, I did horribly and I refuse to work from home as long it's possible. So it's possible your stroke is also du to the current state of affair. WFH is leterally not an options for me. However, you are basically late at everything that is not developping asked ? This could be interpreted as being dismissive and passive/agressive which is a huge red flag for a manager. If for some reason you can't do it on time, COMMUNICATE IT, A-L-W-A-Y-S.

To what point your producitivity decrease after your conflict with the boss, like you weren't good one afternoon, or for 2 whole weeks ? Honestly, I'm myself not a good communicator and was worst when i start off and yet I wasn't treated how you are (am in France though). It's kinda weird that know you seems fired as a beginner just for communication issues, you're either deeply unlucky or there something more to it, give us actual example of how you really behave with others. Do you tend to react to every remark/disagreement like it's personal ? Do you attack more people than facts ?

I don't see specifically distrust there, maybe it's not really well worded but I see more something like some "risk management" where our OP is seeking way to reduce risks of people leaving too easily. And that is in fact what the current answer is answering.

Are you also sure that the people you're working with are not in a "give me ze code" mindset ? Or that for whatever (good or wrong reason) they might not have the time to fully understand your document becuase there is always something else going on ? That's might seems a poor excuse but that's still quite common.

Hey I have a good one there, a friend were inteviewing candidates, fresh out from school. In the middle of the interview, he passed on the hobby part of the CV, a club of music. So he try to pursue there, the candidate detailled that it's a "fart music club" and he had the honor of a live demonstration. Sometimes I wonder how they filter candidates out of school, he got quite some cases but I think this one is really the best he got.

An easy argument : try to generate HTML by hand in a servlet, or use JSP. This is way easier & faster to develop & maintain JSP that HTML hand written in Servlet. And JSP are translated by the server to Java code and then compiled to be executed. Usually source code need to be generated because there is no other way to do what you want in what the language provides you.

Also, several deadlines in 4 weeks is very odds. Even in agile you're supposed to have enough time to specify, code, tests, validate, deploy, things. Which doesn't take 3 days for a full run.

@MathewFoscarini I do differentiate getting drunk and being totally wasted (if it's the right word in English).
Walfrat
Nov 7, 2017 21:53
Their ability to ask intelligent questions and engage in meaningful conversation deteriorated as the interview progressed. Isn't that getting drunk ? If not, what it was then ? Lack of seriousness ?
Walfrat
Nov 7, 2017 21:53
So basically the interview was "come we have beers" ? However I think the title of your question should be updated, it's not the "use of alcohol", but literally "getting drunk in the middle of the interview". I mean if they took just one beer, Surely quite some of us could have ignore or get over it, but getting drunk is totally different.

On the history side, from what I remember, Juives chase in Germany was very easy because before Hitler take the power, the religion of people were mentioned in governent stuff. As such we're now more carefull about what we put in this kind of paper, not because we think the current gouvernment will spy on us, but if something grave happens, and some chase like it happens in WWII happen, they won't have just to search in their own paper to find what they want. (That is the logic, not sure if this is really the state how it is now :)).

@Jay you might want to edit your post to reflect what you said on the comment about .. the comments (those in the code). Depending on the problem, the 2 first point could be enough. Of course it depends of the exercice, between implements X algorithm and make your own algorithm the latter will definitively need comments (if we consider he give also a sheet of paper or a Word/Office doc along with the code).

I would not do a single extra hours for tasks that was set at start to not to be mine, if you really want OP to earn usefull experience, here is one very usefull he can make here : learn to say NO.

@ItamarGreen I'm not telling you to make them criminal, but to make them realize what bad people can do with it, and not just some bad jokes. You need to make them realize what happens in real life : an application that don't run because of an injection that make it crash can cost millions per hour, if you're the one responsible for that, you will be held accountable.
