Nice project!

I agree. If i start a project and want to release it as GPL v2 then i expect you to only use it in your project if that is also GPL. If i don't care what happens to it then ill use MIT license or public domain.

That last paragraph hits home. Adapt fast. Im surprised by how quickly i learn things these days and now realize if i didn't I'd be unemployed

Computer science is a young discipline. You are pretty green and already noticing that there's more to it than knowing how to code.

Try not to get too angry. Work on your own professional development including soft skills. You will soon learn your value compared to others and should be able to turn that into higher and higher salaries.

When you are at a point where you can influence hiring decisions look for passion and professionalism in addition to the technical knowledge. GL on your rewrite

Can a language ban you?

I prefer free and open source software when possible, but use a lot of closed source proprietary software for day to day tasks in and out of work. I don't really every bring my political philosophy into it.

Your post skims over the benefits and ends up sounding like a sales pitch for Nim. Ill add some I'd these looks to my reading list nonetheless...

I have had the opposite experience as boredTech. I had a job offer before graduation at 60k salary. less than 10 years later i make over $110k, never unemployed, switched jobs 3 times.

never seemed brutal to me.

Lmfao I want your story to be true so bad

Pro tip on security questions: treat your answers like passwords. What is your moms maiden name? Nk13+awR

Np, this stuff is fun for me. GL

I coded up a draft that hits most of the requirements in this assignment. Check out the pastebin:

Fyi be careful copying this. The prof will notice if my code uses techniques that you have not learned yet. There are many ways to do the input for this project as well. I assume you have only learned cin / cout, but you may want to refactoring using an input file or argv. Hopefully this provides a good starting point.

not in our lifetime, but programming will be the new coal mining in 200 years

haha touche

I assume he made money over that 12 hours

the author is one of those people that use big words to appear intelligent. I cringed when he quoted his reddit posts

I don't have a case preference, but for 32b numbers please put in some separators ffs: 16#abcd_1234#

"Friday I think"

I wonder if this is a geographic thing. I did interviews on the east coast about 3 years ago for various sw positions and they were all easy. I even got an offer from the place where I thought I failed the interview because I rambled through one of those "how many piano tuners in city" questions.

I work in Aerospace. Anything that flies commercially in the USA has to meet rigorous development, planning, and verification guidelines in order to become "certified" for flight. My jobs have ranged from writing requirements, software design, software implementation (Ada, c, c++, assembly) on RTOS, test case writing and implementation, test execution on target hardware and documentation of all of the above.

The day to day is usually the same for months at a time until the project phase changes. Ie) Write test cases for the next 2 months. Review requirements for a month. There's some excitement, but it's usually tedious.

I'm open to questions. I have about 5 yrs experience

Check out D-Bus. This is a great mechanism to have client applications register with the daemon (service) and tell it to do work without client caring how

This was a great read. If you haven't yet met each type of person in this story.. you eventually will.

I think that responsibility should be distributed to the entire work force. I can't imagine one person having enough domain knowledge to keep all documentation updated. I like when it's built into the development process

I wish I had the balls to leave an interview if they asked a bogus question. I stumbled in an interview trying to figure out how many x there were in city y, some estimating silliness. I got the job offer but chose a different company that wasn't so ridiculous.
