Poast new message in this thread
Date: October 20th, 2017 5:21 PM Author: Poppy frozen gas station dog poop https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Programming-Interface-System-Handbook/dp/1593272200 unfortunately I've forgotten 80% of this because I never have the chance to use it, but it's remarkably well-written.
https://www.amazon.com/Effective-Modern-Specific-Ways-Improve/dp/1491903996/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1453298759&sr=8-1&keywords=effective+modern+c%2B%2B another book I loved but haven't really had the chance to use any of my knowledge IRL, but much easier information to retain. Should be required reading for anyone who writes C++ |

The second book looks pretty cool: C++1x is badass |

Date: October 20th, 2017 7:23 PM Author: cocky shrine All of the “Effective xxx” books are great. I’ve read Effective python and effective objective c (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769884&forum_id=2#34490514) |
Date: October 20th, 2017 5:43 PM Author: electric beta area background story the only programming book I've ever read is the Pragmatic Programmer. Everything else is following value-adders on twitter and reading essays and talking with people in the industry. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769884&forum_id=2#34489914) |

Thoughts on CCTI, Elements of programming interviews, programming interviews exposed? |

Date: October 20th, 2017 9:52 PM Author: Poppy frozen gas station dog poop I don't think they're as worthwhile with leetcode around. You'll basically learn the same shit but with more up to date (read: harder) questions (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769884&forum_id=2#34491471) |
|
Date: October 20th, 2017 9:54 PM Author: cocky shrine Agree with 503. Interview books aren’t rigorous enough for my tastes (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769884&forum_id=2#34491479) |

Date: October 20th, 2017 10:03 PM Author: Poppy frozen gas station dog poop Maybe more importantly you can see what questions are more common on leetcode. Lots of non-big 4/5 companies especially end up asking the same ones (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3769884&forum_id=2#34491539) |

Date: October 20th, 2017 10:11 PM Author: electric beta area background story Programming interviews are 100% flame. Careful inspection of the cost of software (CPU, RAM, Hard Drive) takes time.
All you need to know about this bullshit that you should avoid N+1 queries/operations. |

Date: October 21st, 2017 12:50 AM Author: electric beta area background story The software industry is currently composed of people who could displace 100 useless people if it were politically feasible. In a way, retarded boomer managers also want to ignore their own malfeasance, so it makes sense to not appear TOO smart in interviews with boomers if you are a A-tier technology employee.

Date: October 21st, 2017 1:05 AM Author: electric beta area background story Yeah. Do you know how to avoid firing N queries to the database? Can you describe the difference between O(log(n)) and O(n)?
Can you tell us the purpose of database indices? Can you also tell us why we don't index every DB column?
If you made it this far, congrats! You are highly qualified! |

Date: October 23rd, 2017 2:43 AM Author: electric beta area background story My point is that the day to day requirements of quality software development are about teamwork, planning, cleverness, and depending on company size, soft skills like communication and empathy.
A random candidate's ability to solve your riddles says nothing about those skills. This is why credited software firms trust referrals the most. |
