like i know you can't buy mechanical keyboards with pictures of milford sound but if I lived there all I would do is screw around there.

trip report on job interview I screwed up the online test for : no they didn't laugh at me but they threw an instruction manual for their in-house scripting language at me to read for an hour before getting me to do bug fixes and poo poo.

third round interview today, 4 hour in person at a different company tomorrow

jobs are super different from each other so if both like me I'm honestly not sure which direction to go I guess chances are I won't get two offers so it won't be a decision anyway

apparently they loved me as a person after my interview but felt they had stronger candidates with more experience

at least they said they'd send me feedback on the homework thing and would consider me if a junior position opened up again
