Dell is literally the best option for a work laptop

my daily shitposting (and codeshitting) machine is a latitude e5000 series. it has a dumb and bad screen, the power brick is yuuge compared to apple, and i swapped out the spinny disk for a samsung evo that i had in a different machine. on the other hand i will get years of use out of it and it cost me a whole $400

also it has a newer cpu architecture than the mbp 15" :v:

if you applied for a specifically iOS role you'll probably get one or two interviews of just iOS related questions if that's what you mean but you'll probably have another couple of standard pulled-something-out-of-CTCI interviews as well

since google literally gives you a download link to cracking the coding interview they don't really ask questions literally from it anymore

huh. i found the old 486SLC 25MHz laptop that my cousin gave me when he graduated college. i tried to run POLYGON.EXE on it and it just crashes. could be because i'm running it on a 486 with no FPU, it has 3MB of RAM, or something else! oh well

i had a project kicked down for redesign because i didn't use a *card ui*. its a grid of duplicate records and some buttons to resolve the duplicates.

I was googling for something today and instead of taking me to the results it asked me if I wanted to take a coding challenge. I guess it is some kind of recruiting tool.

but we can't call it that and we're a loving desktop app not an anroid. my project would be used by claim examiners to review delicate claims. its business software. collapsible card elements and whatever are just a lovely whizzbang distraction so we can say we use "modern ui design"

so uh, what's the correct way to build a .net web app now? i just realized yesterday that you can target .net 4.6 with asp.net core and that it's not limited to .net core.

i hope that's the answer, because asp.net core kinda rules.

asp.net core is cool but lots of stuff hasn't been ported to it yet or is still in the process of being ported. if its not a problem for you then gopher it.

so true. the whole reason theyre forcing this on me is that we lost a couple sales to trizetto and the feedback was basically "wow, your system is much more functional than theirs, but its just so ugly". people literally dont give a poo poo what your software does or how good it is if it doesnt look like a spaceships bleached butthole.
