My wife did 502 in 4 attempts last night around midnight. Woke up this morning to a blank Wordle but was sure she did it already so typed in the answer again and got credit for doing it in 1 attempt. Now I am accusing her of hacking Wordle ...and she has become slightly more sexy to me

I have, on more than one occasion been called for an interview for a job that, on paper, seemed like a good opportunity; only to find, during the interview itself (or the workplace tour on occasion), that the workplace was toxic, corrupt, disorganized or just plain bad and that I definitely wasn't going to take the job.
Have you?
- I would love to change the world, but they wonβt give me the source code.
|
|
|
|

I once had :
"Do you have questions ?"
"Yes, a few, thanks for asking. What tool are you using for source control ?"
"Source what ?"
"Mmhh, sorry, I gotta go"

You missed a golden opportunity to be master of the domain. Workplaces like that are in need of someone to lead them out of the dark ages - and that someone inevitably gets paid more.

If you say that getting the money

You will spend your life
completely wasting your time
You will be doing things
you don't like doing
In order to go on living
That is, to go on doing things
you don't like doing
Which is stupid.

MMh ... no. Been there tried that. You land in the middle of people who simply do not understand or do not want or whatever, and you end up being the one who does everything because he knows how to while others get promoted. Forget about it.

yeah, I also have "been there, done that" - several times - and I can confidently say that whilst it's not an easy trick to pull off, steering a company's tech base from the shadows can be really rewarding (:

Exactly right, THEY need to understand they have a problem they need to fix before someone with the knowledge and skills (and mandate) can go fix it. Otherwise it is lose lose. You can't teach a pig to sing, first you'll be unsuccessful, second, it will just irritate the pig.

Yes: the interview should always be you interviewing them, not them interviewing you!

Basically same thing happened to me. They did say however that they were thinking about doing that pretty soon. I didn't get the impression that they thought it was a priority.
I heard about another place which had source control. For every release a developer would build it locally then zip the binaries and check that zip file into source control. Yep - only thing in source control was the binary builds of the release.

Absolutely. I don't interview for work anymore - I can't because panic attacks tend to overshadow any potential strengths I can bring to the table as a prospective worker, but I used to do quite well at it before my anxiety trouble.
So with that caveat, when I used to interview, I learned sometime around 2005? or so not to "dress up" for interviews.
Part of it is when I look like me, let's just say I get noticed a lot, for better or worse. I'm apparently "different"
But I can play "normal" on TV. I can dress in business formal and hide most of my eccentricities for an hour.
But then I'm stuck with the guy who is my supervisor who couldn't deal with me as I am, because I left him the wrong impression of who *I* am.
Now, I knew this guy would probably take issue with me - I worked that out at the interview. I'm genderweird, and I know how that impacts some people. I wasn't born in space.
But I wanted to work for the company, so I didn't punt it. I went ahead and aced it.
That was a big mistake. Huge. I've never been in an environment where someone's personal hangups so overshadowed their ability to work with someone different than they are.
I was escorted out of that job. That's how much he didn't like me. After he got the project he hired me for.
Never again. It's not worth it.
If I get a bad initial read on someone I'm going to work with, I walk away. The interview (such as there is one) is the place for that.

But you got the last laugh as he wasn't able to complete the project without your skills, right?
Iβve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

I don't know or care. As soon as I left I was on to bigger and better things, lesson learned.

I never had very many job interviews. Maybe 3-4. At the time, they were mostly a formality to make sure you were the real deal on your resume. I had the interview because I had the job. That was sort of how it worked back them. Programming was such a new field, interviewers were usually other programmers. Your resume was the "hire me" product, so we spent a lot of time on those.
