Can’t just be me, can it? Currently 0 for 3 on interviews because I can’t seem to get past the technical interview/test. Usually because of some crazy complicated algorithm question that’s never been relevant to anything I’ve ever had to do on the job in all my years coding.

Also, while I’m ranting: screw the usual non-answer when given feedback.

    You’d be surprised by the number of applicants that can’t write a for-loop. There’s a middle ground between no test and complex tree search algorithms.

      If I ever encounter that middle ground, I’ll let you know. Until now, it’s only ever been complex bullshit.

          This is why googling is a skill, even if I don’t know then some 15 year old kid from Bangladesh has a YouTube tutorial on it

          A funny question that a lot of developers struggle with:

          “How do you model a many-to-many relationship in a database ? For example in school, a student has many professors and a professor has many students.”
