i had a big rubbery one for Tcl for a while because of how simple the language is, and how easy it is to throw together a UI with Tk. there isn't anything majorly wrong with Tcl, but theres so many little annoyances with it Tcl is still my go-to for prototyping stuff that interfaces with sqlite tho

is it just me that is very stupid or are academic papers describing algorithms impossible to implement? every single time i try i hit a brick wall

it's kinda funny to watch some lectures by professors on youtube and they're like "this is C code" and it actually BARELY MAKES SENSE AS PSEUDO C CODE so I can only guess how it's like in actual papers with nontrivial algorithms

I've managed to implement algorithms from a few papers here and there before, but it's usually easier if there are many papers describing it on their own side because otherwise it's hard to find anything particularly clear.

Valeyard posted:i thought you had a good thing going with current job, youve not been there that long right? yeah i definitely do. but a recruiter for redhat contacted me and i might as well get the experience of the interview. if they actually offered me a job (which seems unlikely) I'd have to think very hard about it. my company is really awesome to work for, to the point that even significantly higher pay would not really be enough to entice me to leave. but on the other hand, working for redhat would open a ton of doors for me.

Interview stress factor also depends a whole lot about how badly you need or want it. If you've got a decent job already and are just shopping for something nicer, the stress levels you have are pretty guaranteed to be lower than if you're going for the "last resort" interview before your family gets in trouble and poo poo, for example, regardless of interviewing skill or whatever. There's just a lot more at stake and not a lot of people know how to properly deal with that in a manner that shows up as "is the perfect interviewee for a tech job"

Im just very light on data structures / algos, which seem to be really important for interviewing. I went through ctci before I got this job but I haven't used any of that stuff since interviewing. Which is funny because I have a lot of aptitude for them but rustyness combined with my terrible nerves makes those questions really hard

I went through ctci before I got this job but I haven't used any of that stuff since interviewing. i just bombed a couple of these recently. i mainly did myself in by trying to shoehorn stuff i'd been studying in preference of stuff i actually knew. so my advice would be to stick to what you know and if they tell you to gently caress off then you know what to work on. nerves are going to do you worse than knowledge.

just finished writing a thing that scrapes data from an external application using managedwinapi then sends said data of for a credit check and displays the result its the first time ive done anything more complicated than just farting out a database ui and i feel like ive risen from abysmal dumbass programmer to being a plain old terrible programmer of course now i know how it's done it seems like a dumb babby thing that shouldn't have taken all week and yeah im still a abysmal dumbass after all thats my own tale of imposter syndrome thanks for reading
