#coding interview

[alta-et-astra]

I am going to BOMB this coding interview but I'm trying to keep in mind a few things:

1). I am trying to let go of anxiety this year. The anxiety is not helping me so I just need to breathe and relax.

2). I don't really want to work for this company anyway, it's kind of a super shady start up which isn't really my vibe, so even when they inevitably reject me, it will be ok

3). This will be good practice

4). I have other coding interviews lined up over the next couple of weeks with companies that I actually AM interested in working for

5). The mantra: I am not unhireable. I am not incompetent. Given enough time and practice I can do well

Ultimately I think this means that I need to start getting up before the kids so that every morning I can knock out an example problem, even on the weekends.

Explain about Collector.teeing feature in the Java Stream API in Java 12?

The Collector.teeing feature introduced in Java 12 is a powerful addition to the Collector interface in the Java Stream API. It allows you to combine the results of two downstream collectors into a single result using a provided BiFunction. Here’s a detailed explanation along with a sample code demonstrating its usage: Explanation: The Collector.teeing method takes three…

I’m a software engineer, and getting paid in stock, and possibly feeling stuck because of a vesting schedule, is a good reason to not work for a tech company at the FAANG+M level.

I got a little carried away below talking about my very positive job switch last year, with a little motivational ending for those searching for new software engineering jobs below.

I ran away from a ginormous Fortune 100 company because they were enforcing the RTO, and I gave up on it a couple months in. (Commuting 1-1.5 hours to downtown drains all my energy so I can’t do anything in my free time in the evening).

I was close to working for Google, but by the time I passed the interview and should’ve been starting team matching, they had secretly started a hiring freeze and then started RTO for new/lower employees, so I didn’t match any team needs (lol what a waste of time). No WFH? Big nope from me

So I did the typical SE job search procedure for a while and found myself at a small company, which works closely for/with our Fortune 100 parent company.

+ I have a WFH job which helped my work life balance immensely compared at a 1h15m commute 2 days a week situation

+ I’ve come to love working for a small company (<2k employees) that makes and offers and uses software that makes big money

+ low pay uncertainty; only the amount of my yearly bonus varies in amount based on my companys’ (itself and its parent) performance and my own performance

+ I found the work culture I was searching for. 1. I have felt so much more connected with my remote colleagues than I ever did with my in office colleagues at my previous jobs. 2. I don’t feel like I’m ever bothering someone or wasting their time when I ask a question to get some help or gain more understanding on something; everyone is always willing to help.

Yes finding a new software engineering job (esp w/ <5yoe) is an ordeal on its own, but if you’re vocal with your wants (ex: state your need for a WLB, ask about what it’s like to ask questions and receive help), and of course pass the interview (willingness to learn, domain/programming language knowledge, can solve coding interview problems) … you CAN find a job that fits you… if you consistently put in the time, and learn to use job websites that support Boolean search.

Sorry for caring about stocks it’s just that my paycheck is tied to them.

David Tennant talks about filming Good Omens and Doctor Who at the Globe

David Tennant at Fan Expo Dallas 2024, 9.6.2024

Fan: Two of your most iconic roles, the Doctor and Crowley, they have scenes that span all of history, and I was just wondering, what was your favourite historical era to portray yourself in and why for both characters?

David: Well, both characters got to visit Shakespeare's Globe, and both times we got to film in Shakespeare's Globe, which exists in London - for anyone who wants to know - they rebuilt the theatre that Shakespeare would have performed in with his company of players, it's been rebuilt in the banks of the Thames, close towhere it would have been, and it's been rebuilt in as much historical detail as possible. And it now runs as a theatre. It's got a full cycle of plays. You can go to London tomorrow and se a show there. And as a set to film on it's the most extraordinary thing. It's completely realised. So you stand in this kind of circular place and you look around and you're in Elizabethan England. It's fantastic. So we got to film there on Doctor Who, which was wonderful, and we got to for Good Omens as well. So both those characters were filming those scenes which were supposed to take place in that time in the most extraordinary sense, that could never be... no production would be able to make it in such extraordinary detail. That was a real treat. So that was for both of those characters that would be... for me I'd say that was the most kind of immersive experience anyway.
