Living proof that you don't have to learn to code when you were 8 (I was 28) on your dad's Commodore 64. I didn't even have a computer or internet until I was in college. Mechanical engineer on paper.
My brain literally does an exit(); and I have to recompile it again.
I'm dying over this! I remember my first technical interview. I choked so hard they hung up on me! I sat down at the kitchen table after this and solved all the questions in less than 15 minutes. It was painful at the moment, but now it's a great story to tell when commiserating over the garbage fire that is the technical interview.
For this specific one I mentioned, it went from about an hour of seeing if culturally it was a good fit. All good! Then completely out of left field I was prompted to go into the technical interview pop-quiz, which I was totally unprepared for. There were so many, "UHHHHHs" I lost count!
The silver lining though is all of the questions that were asked, have been tattooed into my brain. I actually did a lot better than I thought when I went back thought about my answers, but it was still a total embarrassment. I will say this though, if ever asked on the spot any of those questions again, I will have them down! :P

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.

Haha! I completely understand.
