One of the things I loved about Reddit was the super niche experts dropping into the comment section. I’m so glad Lemmy has this too.

This is too good

I think you meant “literally”. Laterally is a complacently different word

Sure, programming is hard if you’ve never worked with programming language features before… Modulus isn’t some obscure esoteric operator, it’s literally CS 101

Haha good try. Hope your interview goes well

Which shouldn’t be surprising. The company I was interviewing at only feed me the top ~1% of CVs to interview… Of course half of them were stuffed with bullshit

This is on the easier end of the scale to be sure, but as someone who’s interviewed candidates with similar questions, it eliminates a surprising number of people…

My theory is that modern coding bootcamps stuff their students full of buzzwords instead of letting them learn the basics

“Introductions and a bit of smalltalk” - I would shit myself if an interviewer started asking about smalltalk… /s
