The Management posted:anyone who mentions grades gets an eye roll from me and then I turn up the difficulty of my technical questions. you sound like the kind of guy who thought homework was beneath you and got Cs, and are now permanently bitter about anyone who showed up and actually did what was asked it's a loving co-op position, grades are one of the few things they can actually talk about

The Management posted:dude, take a deep breath. so you're going to penalize them? when i was in college i was working part time and doing what was asked of me on every assignment. sorry i didn't spend every waking hour developing a bestselling app as a one man show at the same time but i wasn't going to stanford, so i guess i wouldn't have been in front of you anyway

first, i'm talking about internship interviews, so if you aren't let's just drop this talking past each other fest second, help me get this straight: i'm supposed to blow off my core classes and barely pass, so that i can spend all my time working on spare projects that are basically jobs, in order to get to an interview where you grill me on concepts covered in those classes i'm blowing off to get into the interview. if instead i decide to take those same classes seriously and have less time for my own projects, my resume will be thrown in the trash. how am i, as someone seeking an internship, supposed to be able to get past this? carry on then fucked around with this message at 14:41 on Jan 27, 2018 |

Boiled Water posted:having a ton of poo poo to show off on github is a million times more impressive than an A+ in algorithm design from university. i wasn't talking about the initial application. someone posted that if an internship applicant mentions to them that coursework is a focus day-to-day, they automatically ask the hardest technical questions to embarrass them carry on then fucked around with this message at 17:41 on Jan 27, 2018 |

it is hilarious to me that the same people who are so adamant about only working 9-5 and not touching a computer outside those hours expect applicants to be programming 24/7 while working and going to school and then complain when they only work with social awkward sperglords

Dongslayer. posted:i was chatting with an old high school pal and he has been programming for four five years and makes six figgies. i had to be explain inheritance to him and im a fuckwad just getting into upper division courses. how? is basic knowledge really this selective in computer jobs? i knew a few other students who could easily end up like this because they were passable programmers but absolutely positively did not care about any material that did not interest them personally. like, sit in class with arms folded, bad mouth profs with careers older than they were, etc. turns out they're terrible to work with too!

ADINSX posted:Is it though? The whole point of a declarative language like SQL is that I don't give a gently caress how the tables are joined, I just want them joined like this. Some dorks in the 70s figured out the best way to do it, and as a sex-having brogrammer I benefit from their effort. if the interviewer doesn’t ask what your lifting program is you should pass immediately

Fart Johnson posted:I hear this complaint a lot. Do some people have zero social contact outside of their co-workers? I have a wife and friends I'd prefer to socialize with. I like my teammates but can't imagine missing them or feeling depressed because we aren't sitting side by side, lol. sitting in total silence and isolation for 8 hours a day five days a week isn't fun, even if you have other things to do outside of that. you miss out on impromptu shoot the poo poo sessions, having lunch with someone, even just being able to walk over to someone and talk to them if you need to instead of reaching out over slack/webex/phone call. plus, being physically present allows you to possibly overhear things you otherwise wouldn't and not being there makes you feel more out of the loop none of this applies if this doesn't happen and/or you hate your coworkers though

Fart Johnson posted:I get where you're coming from, although I don't share the sentiments. On my team we're spread across multiple states so there's really no "loop" to be left out of. All of our communication is async outside of teleconferencing. I once worked on a team at Wells Fargo (red flag I know) and we were all co-located with no remote work. Having no remote option and people walking up to chat constantly felt like I could never concentrate. Also felt like 90% of convos weren't work-related, it was all just the illusion of looking busy to please management. that’s my point, some people can do the 8 to 5 alone, others need contact, most fall somewhere in the middle. id probably go insane with an office of one so i don’t seek out full time remote, but my office culture is actually decent so maybe it’s better than being pissed off all day

the worst part of side projects is hitting that stupid sticking point about an hour in where something won't build right or interact with something else properly and you've been googling for twice as long as you've been actually making progress and looking down the barrel at even more time spent reading logs and trace and just give up right then
