					Worst dev I've interviewed?
 
 "Archie" ran his own consulting business for almost 20 years. Prior to his interview, Archie sent HR (to send to us) his company's website, where he had samples of code for us to review (which was not bad, this guy did know his stuff).
 What I found odd was Archie was the lone wolf at his company, but everything I found about him (the about page, his bio, etc), Archie was referred to as 'Mr. Archie Brown'.
 Ex. 'Mr. Archie Brown began his humble career and 'Mr. Archie Brown is active in his church and volunteers his time in many charities ...'
 Odd to refer to yourself in the third person on your own site, but OK, I like putting hot sauce on my mac & cheese (no judgement here).
 
 Then the interview..standard stuff, then..
 Me: "Given your experience, this is an entry level developer position. Do you feel the work would be challenging enough for you?"
 Archie: "Yes, Mr. Archie Brown would have no problem starting at bottom. You see ..."
 
 Almost any time he would reference himself, instead of 'me' or 'I', he would say 'Mr. Archie Brown'. As the interview continued, the ego and self-importance grew and grew.
 My interview partner wanted to be done by using the escape clause, "PaperTrail, I'm good, do you have any questions?"
 
 Yes, yes I do. I was having too much fun listening to this guy ramble on about himself. I made the interview go the full hour with the majority of time 'Archie' telling us how great he is.
 
 The icing on the cake was my partner caught his gold cuff-links and tie-pin where his initials and how he kept raising his hands and playing with his tie to show us (which I totally missed, then was like "oh yea, that was weird")
 
 After the interview, talking with HR:
 HR-Jake: "How did it go?"
 John: "Terrible. One of the worst. We would have been done in 10 minutes if PaperTrail didn't keep asking questions."
 Me: "Are you kidding!? I had the best time ever. I wish I could have stayed longer."
 HR-Jake: "Really? This guy was so full of himself I wasn't sure to even schedule with you guys. With his experience, I thought it deserved at least a round with you two. You think we should give him a chance?"
 Me: "Hell no. Never in a million years, no. I never in my whole life met anyone with such a big ego. I mean, he kept referring to himself in the third person. Who does that?"
 HR-Jake: "Whew!...yea, he did that in the phone interview too. It was a red flag for us as well."
 
 Couple of weeks later I ran into HR-Jake in the break room.
 HR-Jake: "Remember Mr. Archie Brown?"
 Me: "To my dying day, I will never forget Mr. Archie Brown."
 HR-Jake: "I called him later that day to tell him the good news and he accused me of being a racist. If we didn't give him the job, he was getting a lawyer and sue us for discrimination."
 Me: "What the frack!"
 HR-Jake: "Yep, and guess what? Got a letter from his lawyer today. I don't think a case will come in front of a judge, but if you have any notes from the interview, I'll need them."
 Me: "What are we going to do?"
 HR-Jake: "Play the waiting game between lawyers. We're pretty sure he'll run out of money before we do."
 
 After about 6 months, and a theft conviction (that story made the local paper), Mr. Archie Brooks dropped his case (or his lawyers did).23

					As a new freelancer I didn't have much clients , so I paired with a web designer +10 years exp. who work with me as a pm and that was a bad decision.
 Although I am a back-end dev , half of the projects were frontend/WordPress theme (less price than back-end projecrs) - so 30% of the projects were cancelled .
 sometimes I receive project's which have requirement, like magento, I don't know anything about ,
 I tried to push myself but I burned out after six month.
 he deals with clients, partner with other companies ,and I don't know anything about the terms.
 at the end I was like an employee without any benefits from his company .
 moreover I get my money after 45 day!!!
 and not all my money .
 this is a project I work for another company through him
 A requirement for mobile back-end server was integrating with parse and that was my first time working with Facebook parse so ....
 after two weeks ..
 we received email from parse that they'll shutdown their service after a year .
 
 so we moved to Amazon sns again my first time working with aws .
 at the end I can't charge for extra money but my pm became a gold partner for that company .
 the only thing that made me hold is that I need some high quality projects for my c.v.
 -----------
 he didn't show on hangout because I need my money .
 this will be my last project with him.
 wow I write too much ... I feel better now .😥1
