Christian-Schiffer, "pushing religious symbols as part of a product update is completely unacceptable."

LMAO dudes name Christian is literally a religious symbol meaning follower of Christ.

All those errors and bad coding practice with it but the thing that hurts my head the most are the 5 space tabs lol.

One Interview I had for a java position had me take a handwritten test. I was really worried before it; I hadn't written any java in nearly 5 years. The test was really basic. First question was I was given a function and asked what the return type was. The last question was fizz buzz. Was also asked to write some simple code and find some syntax errors in some code. I thought it was overly simple. The interviewer said I was the first one he's seen get the first question right in he can't remember how. I mean come on if you can't tell me the return type of a function you don't belong in the programming field.

I think the important thing is to make sure an applicant can solve basic problems in the language the job requires. All the other stuff can be taught.

A quote from the author

"This isn't something I've been able to do because I'm brilliant (heck, I'd argue that compared to a lot of the community, I'm pretty dim)."

Sounds like someone is using plugging trigger words into the search function to me.

I'd say its good thing to learn the OS calls and the basics behind socket programming, but for any practical purposed maybe look into zeroMQ I really liked using it so far. It has libraries for all the major languages and you don't have to bog yourself down with how many bytes were sent you.
