Can’t just be me, can it? Currently 0 for 3 on interviews because I can’t seem to get past the technical interview/test. Usually because of some crazy complicated algorithm question that’s never been relevant to anything I’ve ever had to do on the job in all my years coding.

Also, while I’m ranting: screw the usual non-answer when given feedback.

    Yep, use to work somewhere where we had a technician that would spend a whole lot of time just walking around, noting where we had blown light bulbs and stuff like that and he told me something similar “What I’m doing now is not what I’m paid for, that’s just me being nice to my employer, what I’m paid for is knowing how to solve the real issues when shit really hits the fan.”

      Sysadmins can similarly have a hard time. After all, if they’re doing their job right, there are no problems.
