They can’t just say “base” on a fancy art site! They would have to lower the price.

I certainly agree with the commentary in the following (from CP newsletter.)

https://www.codeproject.com/News.aspx?ntag=19837497857718739&_z=2928472[^]

I have had interviewers ask about Big O notation as though it had some real meaning/use in large scale corporate enterprise development.

And then those same interviewers fail to ask anything about doing designs, debugging production problems, reviewing requirements/code, etc.

Not to mention asking nothing at all about doing persistent data storage.

I also can't ever remember even a single interview question (decades worth) of anyone asking about using profiling tools.

Not to mention the concern about thread deadlocks versus how to design a system that can use task prioritization with a thread strategy to maximize load. I have never seen a deadlock. But I have seen multiple systems with load problems because they thought throwing unlimited threads at a problem would solve it (and yes I do mean this literally.)

I have reached the stage in my career where if the interviewer handed me a programming test, I would leave.

(I think) I am younger than you, and you (very probably) are better at programming than me, but I already reached that stage a while ago.

I once answered back: Explain me for what are this things useful in your daily business and I will stay and answer the test.

M.D.V.

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

I'm 62, and I just passed the ⅓-century mark at my current employer last week.

My last interview which included a programming test they asked two questions: how do delete an element from a singly-linked list without recursion, and the classic "fizzbuzz".

I wrote the linked-list problem in C. Just for fun, I wrote the fizzbuzz problem as a Windows batch file.

You can ask an esoteric question that someone with 30 years of experience, just doesn't know the answer to, so it kind of proves that these technical interviews are ridiculous.

I posed the following (which "should be simple") question back to the technical interviewer:

Which warning(s) and/or error(s) (if any) will the W3C Validator display for this HTML sample?

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title></title>
    </head>
    <body>

    </body>
</html>

If you do not know, then you obviously have never used HTML before. Roll eyes | :rolleyes:

Yes, I'm kidding.
It's ridiculously esoteric, but is actually quite easy upon seeing the answer.

SPOILER 1
HINT - The W3C Validator returns :
1 warning and 1 error. Do you know what they are?

Go to W3C validator[^] and paste the html in and you'll see.

The interviewer would almost definitely fail this simple test.
