You are missing the point that a director level resource, could only apply to a relatively smaller number of roles. Entry level IC might not be worth applying. So despite what they say, the limitation factor might also be number of posted j

Thats certainly invalid. People with 20 years of experience or more, are asked questions based upon the role they are interviewing for. If you are applying for a principal or higher engineer role and your job involves coding, you are asked

Every body is asked some thing close enough. At higher levels, often focus is not on coding, but enough depth of design where a person of such profile might end up educating the interviewer - while satisfying their requirements. That being

The last part might not be true. Though i won't generalize, let's just say that i have been writing industry code for almost a decade, 90% C (because of domain) and at least a quick review tells me, porting this to a couple of maj

Well coming from an industry c programmer (embedded, networking, high throughput stuff, where c is the only choice), i am really thinking this could be of a great use. Specially for large products developed and maintained for many years and

you said must be eligible to work in Canada. Do you mean that you cannot process people who are say on closed work permit in Canada and would need a new permit to work for you?

Moreover, the concept is quite abstract and has many similar applications. I used to work in a scenario when there was a specific gateway resource that was needed to be run by every developer for executing his code, was very expensive and p

The best I think that can be done is to tell objectively why you didn't fund a company so either they focus on resolving those issues or at worst quit asap or move to a new idea. I dont know how much feedback is provided currently but

I beg to differ on this point. Embedded software development in general needs more of core CS/CE curriculum than any normal application development does (web, desktop, mobile). You might get away with learning to program for say androi

Skiena has a very different style of introducing algorithmic problems. Generally all comprehensive books tend to follow a pattern. Never have i seen a book in which while just being a university student i tried solving a problem described i

I never tried stating it was hard, or making it look like it is main stream. I just said that depending upon the domain you work in, Algorithms and data structures might be more important and you might encounter them more often then in web

Really? may be you didn't have an actual example so had to get sarcastic about it. So let me put a real scenario here. How about a gateway device receiving some minor 3-4 millions subscribers traffic and processing like 40-50Gigs per s

I sort of agree to most. Being able to write recurrence out of master theorem is never kind of thing really needed here. Even if you know conceptually the running time of a loop (nested ones etc.) and be able to apply that practically is su

Depending upon what sort of industry and scale you write code for, very often, it is a HUGE part. I accept the point that over optimizing is the root of all evil and the rest of the philosophy along those lines. But knowing algorithms and d

You might be working in a scenario where you can't just look those things up. You have to code them through. Learning them then through general concept AND THEN implementing is too much. For instance, if you work in the embedded domain

For all the arguments against the algorithmic type questions - i would add that in my ~16000 hours of professional programming, i have had to worry about O(n) to choosing Hash tables, quiet a lot of times. Although not too often (compared t

Oh, so you mean the openbsd version doesn't suffer from these issues / features? :) I would definitely like to take a look. Thanks

Apparently, most of the ones categorized hard seem to be some thing related to hardware i.e. not a software mistake of some programmer. I would narrate a couple which were not the case. a) I used to work on deep packet inspection software f

Just to balance the concept, usually people who have maintained good ratings for a long time, don't do this. I have worked for like 5-6 years at odesk part time, done around 40 jobs of varied sizes (hourly as well as fixed prices), nev

That's a very interesting sort of analogy. Among most of the discussed issues, a) For one, giving enough time to come up with a project estimate is often rare. Usually people try to ask for those upfront. b) Usually we try to add a gen

Another option is to look at credible free lance sites such as odesk, elance etc. Generally you can search for contractors with 1) top notch past feedback in projects of area you are looking for 2) scores on relevant tests on those websites

Yes, but i think it initially teaches dvcs by going exactly the opposite route i.e. there is nothing central. Then latter when you get to mix central again into the concept, it gets a little (let's just say) polluted i.e. harder to get
