i'm applying for a java shop where you have to do their little test in java (or c++???) and my only java experience is two units back in undergrad ten years ago hopefully my c# translates well enough and they aren't too picky about the language itself. i'm gonna try to use streams, wish me luck

Surprisingly Amazon said they want to go a technical phone interview but my dumb rear end replied, "Sure, I'm available after 5 PM during the week as I'm not taking off work to talk."

protip, don't work at amazon. I had a recruiter call me, I told him, "no Amazon" and then goes into why I should reconsider.

I came out of a c# environment and it was only a couple week learning curve for the basics and I'm slowly increasing my mastery of Java. I continue to be frustrated by how much shittier javas generics are but what can you do? I'm addicted to lambdas and streams now though. linq was banned at my old job, as were lambdas.

had an interview today for what i thought was a research technician job but turned out to be devops. seeing as my background is as a scientist i don't think i'll be getting a callback for round 2. but got also got an interview with the same company and some of the same interviewers for a research job this week, which i reckon i have a good shot at having felt them out a bit today the naming of jobs in computer science can be confusing

I blindly accept what's asked of me without asking questions and fret over it after the fact. It's something I need to work on. I definitely have the privilege of being picky. Despite my complaints my work environment is very accommodating, especially wrt mental health. Every time you post about Epic I am more and more glad that you got out of there.

there are legit reasons to avoid linq with particular bits of code (performance, usually) but i can't think of any reasons to avoid lambdas

I'm also not interested in Seattle either well of COURSE the RECRUITER was saying that :p I'm rejecting job postings from other parts of the company outright (and living here, you get a lot of them)... I don't care about alexa, I don't care about some random department's international tax calculation software... but there aren't many companies out there doing cloud stuff at their scale, and I think it would have a really solid return on resume. A problem I've been worried about recently is I keep working at small companies and proving myself, sometimes getting promotions, usually getting better work... but when you switch jobs that clout vanishes... no one gives a poo poo that you're "software architect" at No Name Co... but if I gut it out at a bigger company for a few years I could see promotions like that sticking, or at least big projects seem that much more impressive.

Extension methods seem like they could mayyybe be an okay idea if you're the only person working on a bit of code and you're never going to come back to it and have to go, "Wait, since when did String have a foo() method?" Like, syntactic sugar is nice, but it should also be consistent. Like operator overloading.

But I have some friends at Amazon and I think aws is generally regarded as a more prestigious position within the firm, and really I'd probably consider it myself. Even if you hate it, it puts you in a good position to be accepted to another team. qhat fucked around with this message at 22:05 on Jan 23, 2019 |

Konami gaming had me doing a codility test, scheduled for two hours but I aced it in one, so in theory i've got a 30-45m phoner on Friday At least it's a team lead in theory, I do way better with them than the HR people I can't reliably get technical with

hosed up printing out a string representation of a UIView hierarchy iteratively(explicitly stated no recursion) , like had the right direction going but had mush brain. interviewer explicitly told me 40 minutes was more that enough time for that. also may have had my identity stolen and i can't file an identity theft report because the government is shut down good day, imo
