So I check his grades and see some F's and immediately throw the resume in the garbage lol. Ah, the Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes "You know how Albert Einstein did really badly at school, well my grades are even worse" gambit.

HoboMan posted:sanity check You compared SPAs with native apps but I think they're probably asking you to compare SPAs with a "conventional" website where most interactions cause an entire new page load. Actually now I think about it I'm not sure what they wanted you to compare SPAs with.

I think they've already suffered enough from failing to hire you. No need to rub it in.

Kevin Mitnick P.E. posted:bad sign of what, getting paid to drink while loving around with a compiler? sounds like a pretty god deal to me. as long as the office is close to a bus stop or something It's not so much the "being paid to drink" as "trying to work while other people nearby are drinking".

The weird thing about that particular whiteboard problem is that Tetris pieces do not, strictly speaking, rotate. There isn't a physics engine at work here. If you spin a piece around its midpoint then you're liable to end up with a misalignment. The rotations are individually hard-coded.

I want to re-emphasize that java script: The Good Parts is not a great read for learning about modern JavaScript because it's from 2008 and a lot of incredibly important and valuable stuff has been added to the language since then. Everything from here down is missing from the book, and this is stuff everybody uses every day now. Like, classes. And variables with vaguely sensible scope. The book is somewhat interesting as a historical milestone.

If an interview consists of a rigidly prescribed, predictable series of tests or questions with a quantitative rubric then it can be gamed, but if it's a more open-ended, free-form interaction where you converse and form impressions of one another like two human beings then all kinds of unconscious and conscious biases come forward and warp the outcome, is that basically it?

So when they say "spend 2 to 3 hours on this take-home project" how many hours are most people actually spending on it?
