I don't see it that way - all I see is a predictable corporate reaction to pointing out micromanager tendencies. Also putting down non "first world" coders before they have even been given a chance. I can see that "flagg

Fair enough. "It always comes down to trust - how can I make sure that if I work with you, you're going to commit code that I won't have to do a ton of cleanup on?" - This is what I have the issue with - it's genera

Not really if a manager is going to list demands they expect from their subordinates the least they can do is ensure they understand the difference between similar sounding words.

Hope your code cleanup is more “decent” than your spelling.

ah did you edit this? I noticed you wrote "you may think you're God's gift to programming, but you're wrong." before removing it (it was gone once I had refreshed). Did you realise you know nothing about me so say

Not sure how knowing modular arithmetic and writing code are dependent.

by am8 9y ago
I don't know why knowing modular arithmetic is a requirement for knowing the syntax and how to code in a specific language/on a specific platform?

Who cares, I'd rather not know this and look elsewhere than work with someone who had this sort of attitude

You said mid generously so I think it was fair to say lower middle. No need to get competitive about who has the highest score - sounds like this guy dodged a bullet from having to work with you anyway. You seem like you would be a nightmar

Fried eggs, plenty of Olive oil. Quark (sort of like yogurt). Sometimes still healthy cereal, just not every day.

I said Front end as an example could apply to most developer jobs really. Anyway, this guy you placed as a "lower mid", this is your judgement, how do you know it's correct? Did other people say the same? Perhaps he didn&#x27

So what Modulo is there to catch people out. If you were a front end developer do you really need this? The fact employers will reject based on a test that is fashionable just because a few coding blogs said so doesn't mean they can&#x

I was 255 in Jan now at 235lb by not eating cereal, bread, sweets, drinking sugary drinks etc. Seem to have stayed at 235 for a few weeks now so i'm guessing it's easier to lose the first lot of fat. Been going to a gym most days

"No thanks I don't want to learn more" on the spam pop-up to close it. Of course I want to learn more. Not on this site though. Using a guilt trip way to close a pop-up made me exit the site immediately.

1. Do you need to know how to invert a linked-list (with pointers "yo") to pass a basic programming competency test? No. No you don't. 2. Why point out that it is "easy"? Is it so you can feel superior to people who

Conceited. There is never an excuse for workplace bullying. You don't know how to manage if all you can do is criticise in your 'TODOs'. You are not as advanced a developer as you would like to think if your best solution

"is wether or not you ask me any questions" wether. Who cares there are plenty of places that will hire you without all this "super smart and get things done" cliché. More trust should be given to younger employees just

nice a downvote for recommending a utility company with a decent control panel. real smart. Reminds me of the arrogance I faced when trying to get my first programming jobs.
