pleawe for gods sake screen webdev candidates for an understanding of callbacks i maintain a commercial product that includes a web page javascript file. since it does useful things, it depends on callbacks. half the integration failures are from customers who can't spell callback much less register one

The "CS is math and not computers" saw comes from looking at university CS programs in their most immature phase, when they really were just some random math courses thrown together for conveniences sake, and drawing the bizarre conclusion that that is what CS should always aspire to be

The CS department where I did undergrad was under the control of math faculty for decades and sucked as a result, only when it was transferred to the engineering school did it gain accreditation and start to deliver on its promises (eg in the compilers course students wrote a compiler and not an email parser) e: of course the program still teaches mathematical theory, as accreditation requires and as it should, because the goal is not to unleash hundreds of brute-force coders on the world Gazpacho fucked around with this message at 01:51 on Dec 11, 2016 |

my worst trivia interview was for a java position, this unkempt fat dude came in for a session and asked me stuff like "is there a limit on the number of methods in a java class, if so what is it" my answers were along the lines of "I don't know but if I ever got anywhere near it that would mean I was doing something terrible" which didn't impress him no it wasn't a java tools dev position

Btw bloody don't let "do what you  " horseshit hold you back, it's ok to have long term goals and press them when the opportunity presents, but on a small scale you should decide which of your proven skills right now have the potential to carry you in that direction _and_ get you a job now, and focus your resume accordingly

even if an interviewer had the answer ready, it would likely be the work of some PR committee tasked with putting a good face on "make money, dammit" e.g. Amazon's "work hard, have fun, make history" which probably sounds better in the original German. or their "customer-centered company" which in practice means that management won't shield you from crazy customer demands

the first is not a company mission though because it doesn't state the company's reason for existing in the first place

ok i'll admit i do filter companies based on "mission," specifically whether their tech solves something that i can recognize as a problem. but i would have done that long before i showed up for an interview and "values" is just propaganda
