NO FLIPPIN MEETINGS to interrupt my coding

My git commits are mostly "did shit and stuff" or "changes by David Bowie"....

!Rant

Last Thursday: solicitation
Friday: got a call that I'm hired
Tuesday: signed contract

I did it, I just got my first job!

Hehe, just inherited a bit of JavaScript code. Ashamed to say I physically lol'd a little :) Guess I have an easy "bug" to fix.

"I need this bug fixed in half an hour!"

You want to land a job as PHP developer? About to go to an interview?

There are two ways:

1. Be able to explain the difference between an interface and an abstract class and their purposes. (I shit you not.)

2. If you aren't able to, then simply state you don't know and are eager to learn.

(The second approach might not work if you claimed to know object oriented programming "very well" before though.)

Yet I am astounded in how many interviews people were either playing smart and just rambled on not wanting to lose face. During the remote calls of some special candidates I could even hear them typing on their keyboards in the background googling the answers to my questions.

And the irony is that I thereby had to veto their appliance. As they had lost my trust in being able to communicate honestly. And for wasting my time.

Our domain is complicated and ever-changing and not knowing certain parts of software development is *normal*.

Yet don't just try to fake it in order to land a job. It won't work, and when it does you may find yourself literally in the company of like-minded individuals.

Who else has the ctrl+s reflex... I do it on everything 😐

Developing apps for developers

The Monday after Thanksgiving and you fix two lines of CSS!

P.S how's your Monday going/went?

That look when a coworker who could not write a logic statement tells you to comment out more of your work!

When the "lost password" feature of a website sends you an email with your original password :/

When Microsoft tries to turn you into Gollum....

The best part of all of these smartphone assistants is the unintentional humor.

If you are too lazy to write proper specification for tasks, nothing is a bug

I missed the "OK" and the "Bad Request" but I'm here with the "Not Found"

How I feel, typing 'git status' before and after every command I enter.

When you come to work eager to code, and the whole day goes to trying and failing to fix some network shit -_-

Things in motion tends to stay in motion, while things at rest tends to stay at rest.
