me: i’ve single-handedly written software used by tens of millions of people, you can see it right over at github.com/april

prospective employers: sorry, but unfortunately you did poorly in a high-stress 40-minute coding exercise, writing code with no time to think about how to solve a problem you’ve never seen before, in a terrible dev environment, while someone stares at you the whole time

@april I did it without anyone looking over my shoulder and I still sucked.

I’m glad to see I’m not the only who thinks he’s decent at their job but sucks at this very specific type of problem that is rarely seen in day to day work.

I didn’t write software used by 10s of millions of people (I think) so I’m definitely a step behind there.
