Apparently you think very highly of yourself. Is it possible you aren't as great as you think you are?


Where on earth did you get that? Are you just trying to prove his point?


Ah, apparently I replied to the wrong comment.


Give it a few years for those disgusting coworkers to dirty up all the chairs, keyboards, and mice. Maybe add a bunch of fingerprints to the monitors.


> Maybe add a bunch of fingerprints to the monitors.

And yet, somehow, the new thing in laptops is touch screens.

:(


Ya but we have some pretty sweet military toys.


Maybe people who hate you? "Burn you piece of shit!"


Those type of interviews have been the most enjoyable. Having to code a function to do a very specific thing while also having to come up with the algorithm with strict requirements in a half hour while the interviewer watches over your shoulder are the worst. And then having to repeat that for 4+ more interviewers just isn't worth it to me anymore.

I did an interview at Fitbit where I did a phone interview with the manager who asked me algorithmic questions, then I had to write a program and make it optimized and pretty which took about a day to write, then I had to do about a 4-5 hour interview on site where I was drilled by about 8-10 different people 2 at a time to write code on a whiteboard. After all that and taking off work to do it I didn't get an offer saying my experience doesn't match up with what they are looking for. It was after that I realized I'm not going to go through all that bullshit anymore.
