@linuxxx yeah, the so called "agenda-faal". Forgot that I have my best friends birthday in Culemborg. Thought he did it the 22nd :(

@linuxxx sounds nice, I just realised that I probably can't make it, worst case I join late in the evening.

@linuxxx I'm ok with the weed kind of coffeeshop

@marthulu isnt that a good place to meet? Dont know it though

Isnt there a hackerspace in The Hague? Ill ask a friend whos active in that community

Looks like I am free that weekend!

@linuxxx found the Dutch guy ;)

@linuxxx ah, I had to make an apple ID once, no way I want an apple email adress haha

Hiphop

@linuxxx yes you can.

@Jonnyforgotten haha, exactly this.

@Autism420 Why would you say that? He shared something that he is happy with, nothing more nothing less. I don't care about the mac vs pc shite, but saying that he is full of himself because he shared something that he saved and worked hard for just because it is something that you find too expensive or can't afford is practicly the same as saying that people can't enjoy donuts because you are on a diet.

Realise that most people here have interest that are hard so share with non-tech friends so this is exactly the place to share your tech/dev joys and rants. So I can fully imagine that after hard work, saving and setting the dedication to buy one he is genuinely happy and want to share his joys.

Enjoy your MacBook @shubhodeep, you deserved it.

Nice! Enjoy! It's always good to treat yourself after hard work!

@d4ng3r0u5 actually, last night when I was smoking I had extreme munchies. So I cooked a epic fresh full grain pasta with a lot of vegetables. Had a fun time cooking it and came up with a pitch for a TV show.

"Cooking with stoners."

But but but... I love vim :(

@Ashkin I need this.

@OrestH Thanks!

@404response None taken.

@404response Absolutly.

Aaah why the hell not.

Thanks for your feedback @SauceBos

About the math problems, that is actually something we use on a daily basis (probability and statistics). Our field of expertise in econometrics. The other reason is that I need to weed out the web-devs. Though our primary language is PHP we're not making websites (unless you count my bootstrap interface as a website ;)). I think that a senior webdeveloper would be a medior developer here at best. It's a complete different world.

I understand why you would ask questions like the factory/oop and database operations. That is something I try to weed out in round 1. I ask them about design patterns, look at their previous code and try to get a general idea about their competence level. I would even go as far to say that doing a test with basic OO and database principles is redundant, because if you do not have a firm grasp of those principles, you're not yet a senior dev. Though I have to say that I am naive, and learned that people lie on their resume, a lot.

I was hoping that that by keeping the test vague the developer would give it his or hers best. The first line is important. "Develop a solution which could be implemented in any ecosystem". From a good candidate I EXPECT to get a complete abstracted OO solution in a composer package INCLUDING PHPUnit tests back. I believe that if you're working as a senior dev for a while thats something you would teach the juniors you've worked with. If not, you're not the person we're looking for.

Thats why I did not specify that I want a complete package with PHPUnit tests etc etc back. I want to know if this potential candidate is experienced enough to KNOW that stuff like that is mandatory and not optional.

Again, thank you for your feedback. I will see the coming canidates solutions and if they keep failing big time I am afraid I need to send more specifications with the test.

@AleCx04 Yeah can imagine. Taking away someones privilige to do the fuck he or she wants is one step closer to totalitarianism.

@demiko brown mx switches are quiet. You can put special o-rings on the switches which makes them even more quiet.

@AleCx04 maybe thats a difference in culture, we want to git shit done. Dont care about what someone does or does not.

@demiko membrane keyboard and switch keyboard are 2 different worlds. You don't have to push membrane keys, just a slight touch to make a connection. Switch you have to actually press.

Difference is that you use the wrong tendon movements on membrane keys which result in stiff fingers, on mechanic you actually use muscles/tendons.

The information comes from a article about office health I've red a while ago. Don't know if it 100% factual but I notice the difference. A lot.

@demiko Not getting arthritis.
