Help! I'm a Perfect Genius, but This Potential Employer Asked Me a Boring Interview Question!
Ask A Manager, 13 Feb 2024:
I was rejected from a role for not answering an interview question. I had all the skills they asked for, and the recruiter and hiring manager loved me. I had a final round of interviews — a peer on the hiring team, a peer from another team that I would work closely with, the director of both teams (so my would-be grandboss, which I thought was weird), and then finally a technical test with the hiring manager I had already spoken to. (I don’t know if it matters but I’m male and everyone I interviewed with was female.) The interviews went great, except the grandboss. I asked why she was interviewing me since it was a technical position and she was clearly some kind of middle manager. She told me she had a technical background (although she had been in management 10 years so it’s not like her experience was even relevant), but that she was interviewing for things like communication, ability to prioritize, and soft skills. I still thought it was weird to interview with my boss’s boss. She asked pretty standard (and boring) questions, which I aced. But then she asked me to tell her about the biggest mistake I’ve made in my career and how I handled it. I told her I’m a professional and I don’t make mistakes, and she argued with me! She said everyone makes mistakes, but what matters is how you handle them and prevent the same mistake from happening in the future. I told her maybe she made mistakes as a developer but since I actually went to school for it, I didn’t have that problem. She seemed fine with it and we moved on with the interview. A couple days later, the recruiter emailed me to say they had decided to go with someone else. I asked for feedback on why I wasn’t chosen and she said there were other candidates who were stronger. I wrote back and asked if the grandboss had been the reason I didn’t get the job, and she just told me again that the hiring panel made the decision to hire someone else. I looked the grandboss up on LinkedIn after the rejection and she was a developer at two industry leaders and then an executive at a third. She was also connected to a number of well-known C-level people in our city and industry. I’m thinking of mailing her on LinkedIn to explain why her question was wrong and asking if she’ll consider me for future positions at her company but my wife says it’s a bad idea. What do you think about me mailing her to try to explain?
Sir,
You have been wronged in the most grievous of ways by a coven of retaliatory, self-aggrandizing women who have failed in the extreme to recognize your brilliance, your talent, and above all, your general superiority.
Of course you should mail this mediocre "grandboss" on LinkedIn to inform her of the deep offense she caused you by interviewing you in the first place, let alone doing so using a boring question — indeed, you have a moral and professional obligation to do so in order to preserve your honor and the honor of scores of men like you who have never done a single solitary thing wrong in their lives, ever.
But I beg you to consider doing more. A single, private message to one incompetent bitch may not convey to the necessary parties the depth and breadth of the situation. Many, many people have important lessons to learn from your experience, and I encourage you to share it widely. Consider making a public LinkedIn post, and ensure that it is shareable across platforms. Depending on your financial resources, a billboard with your name, professional headshot, and contact information could go a long way toward ensuring that everyone in your industry who needs to know just how you handled the way these women treated you, does know about it. I hope that in your continuing job search, you are able to connect with potential employers who have a much better grasp of all you bring to the table.

hi hi! love your blog! I am also working on building sites for my portfolio but am a little stumped on how/where to deploy them. would you mind sharing what you are using for deployment? thanks!
Places to Deploy Your Website
Tumblr media
Hiya! I know a few places I've tried in the past and some I am yet to try but I know other developers use them!
Tumblr media
GitHub pages
GitHub Pages is a free static site hosting service that allows you to publish your website directly from a GitHub repository. It supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as Jekyll, a static site generator. I used GitHub pages a lot since I use GitHub to keep all my repositories.
Replit
Replit is a cloud-based development environment that provides an integrated IDE, code editor, and hosting platform all in one place. With Replit, you can easily create and deploy web apps, games, and other projects in multiple programming languages such as Python, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. I use Replit a lot too for my other much smaller projects that I can’t upload on GitHub to run the program online!
Netlify
Netlify offers a free plan for static site hosting that includes features such as continuous deployment, custom domains, and SSL encryption. It supports HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, as well as serverless functions and other backend technologies. 
Heroku
Heroku offers a free plan for hobbyist developers that allows you to deploy up to 5 applications. It supports many languages and frameworks, including Ruby, Node.js, Python, Java, PHP, and Go. Heroku allows free hosting for small applications.
Firebase Hosting
Firebase Hosting is a free service that allows you to host and deploy your web app or static content to a global content delivery network (CDN) with SSL encryption. It supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static assets. It allows free hosting for small applications.
Surge
Surge is a free static site hosting service that allows you to publish your website with a custom domain or a Surge subdomain. It supports HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and other static assets. Allows free hosting with unlimited bandwidth.
Tumblr media
Each of these free deployment options has its own cons such as: 
Its lack of server-side functionality
Limited database support
The cost of advanced features
Limited control over the infrastructure
May not be suitable for more complex websites or applications 
However, for small projects, I think you’ll be fine with the free options!
Hoped this helps and good luck with your websites’ deployments! 🥰🙌🏾💗

Object-Oriented Programming in Java
Hello! Just passing by real quickly.
Here's a Notion page I created a while back during my college Java course, dedicated to the concept of Object-Oriented Programming in Java.
I made it so simple and fun to read , hope it helps someone out there
Happy coding!

Amid sluggish housing construction starts in Ontario, the Progressive Conservative government is working on a use-it-or-lose-it policy that would force developers in the province to act on building permits that have been green-lit by municipalities.
The policy was first proposed by Premier Doug Ford in late August as a counter-offensive strategy during the government’s Greenbelt scandal response, but is now being formalized by his new Housing Minister Paul Calandra.
Representatives for Calandra told Global News the policy “is being worked on” but could not provide a timeline, citing the complexity of the housing file and the focus on implementing the recommendations from the province’s housing affordability task force report.

100 Days Of Code Challenge - day 11/100
Tumblr media
16/01/2024
Day 11:
Hi guys!!!!
Yesterday I managed to finish correcting all the observations made by the tech leader, and they approved my Pull Request wiiiiiiiiiiii! Since I had some time, as I had completed my tickets, I decided to throw a lifeline to my colleague who was struggling to fetch an endpoint from the backend. After several hours and a lot of coffee, we were able to finish all the code. Today, I'll be assisting him with integration tests. I'm proud not only to learn new things but also to be able to help others.
If there's time, I'll try to finish the practice CRUD I'm working on to learn Nest

python - a brief history
In 1989, Guido van Rossum, a Dutch computer scientist, started working on a new programming language that would be easy to learn and use. He named it after Monty Python's Flying Circus, his favorite TV show.
The language quickly gained popularity and a cult following among developers who loved its simplicity and ease of use. Python soon became the language of choice for scientific and academic communities.
As Python's popularity grew, it faced some significant hurdles. In the early days, critics panned the language for being slow and inefficient compared to other programming languages. However, the Python community was undeterred and developed several optimization techniques and libraries to improve performance.
In 2000, Guido van Rossum released Python 2.0, which introduced a number of major new features and improvements, including list comprehensions, a garbage collector, and support for Unicode. This version of the language solidified its position as a powerful and versatile programming language.
Over time, Python faced some new challenges. The release of Python 3.0 in 2008 introduced significant changes that caused compatibility issues with earlier versions of the language. However, the Python community rallied to provide tools and resources to help developers transition to the new version.
Despite these challenges, Python has continued to grow and evolve. Today, it is one of the most popular programming languages in the world, with a vast ecosystem of libraries and tools. Python is used for everything from web development and data analysis to scientific computing and artificial intelligence.
Python's success can be attributed to the passion and dedication of its community, who have worked tirelessly to overcome challenges and make the language accessible to everyone. Guido van Rossum may have created Python, but it is the community that has made it a force to be reckoned with in the world of programming.

It's important to have a life outside programming. You go to work to start coding and working on projects coming back to continue coding, your social media full of coding content and all your friends are developers. It just isn't healthy. Identifying a problem is the first step to solving it so remember have a life outside your job, interact with people who aren't programmers. Stay safe.

Math in development
As someone who bombed out of Dutch Middle School and had to finish the adult equivalent at like 16-18, never picked up math again and got into development through a bootcamp, I have not found a lot of application for more complicated math subjects yet, outside of like complicated katas (there I tended to just look up the right equation and implement it), but I also feel very... I dunno, it seems Useful To Know but most of the more complicated implementations have been abstracted away most of the time and a lot of your day-to-day will not involve that, although I wonder if it is more present in more low-level applications.
I have complicated feelings about it because I feel like it would be very useful to me to know and fun to know both (I think I could be very good at it. I seem to genuinely enjoy it), but I am also Older Now and I have neither the money nor the time to go back and study basic math all the way to university math just to do the job I'm already doing. Learning gets increasingly more fraught when you get older and academia is a scam.

This is my first post, I'm so excited for it! I've been coding for 6 months. That's why I'm more naive, hehe. Now I'm busy developing an e-commerce site with C# over ASP.Net (I'm almost done and due in two weeks!). I created this account to give me more motivation to work and to follow and make friends with other coding girls.
I will be 23 in two months, I started striving to be a developer at 22, I still lack a lot and feel like I don't know anything. I'm also an economics student, believe me it's harder than writing code . But sometimes I don't think about which one is more difficult! Stay well and do not hesitate to write to me..

do you have any advice on how to make developer or comp sci friends?
How To Make Developer/Computer Science Friends?
Tumblr media
Hiya! 💗
Yeah, finding developer/computer science friends can be hard, but here are some places I’ve tried and other suggestions!
Tumblr media
Educational settings
If you're a student, the pretty obvious place would be at a school setting like universities, clubs, colleges etc!
Attend office hours
Also if you're a student, attending office hours is a great way to connect with your professor and other students in your class. You'll have the opportunity to ask questions and get to know other students who share your interest in computer science.
Attend tech events and meetups
Look for local tech events and meetups in your area, and attend them regularly or a couple over the year! You'll defintely meet people who are into computer science.
Join online communities
There are many online communities such as reddit and disocrd (made a post about it) where you can connect with developers and computer science enthusiasts. Participate in discussions and ask questions, and you'll start to build relationships with other members! This definetly worked for me when I joined several programming discord servers!
Collaborate on open-source projects
Contributing to open-source projects is a great way to meet other developers. You'll have the opportunity to work together on a project and learn from each other. Not only are you getting experince collaborating with developer but also making a friend - 2 birds with one stone!
Participate in hackathons
Hackathons are events where developers and designers come together to create a software project within a limited timeframe. Similar to collaborating on open-source projects, hackathons is a great way to meet computer science enthusiasts and work on a project together! Places like Dev Post, Devofolio and Hackathons UK.
Attend conferences
Attending conferences in your field! You'll have the opportunity to attend talks and workshops, and network with other attendees. Networking is super important!
Join a coding bootcamp
A coding bootcamp is a great way to learn new skills with a teacher. This idea is if you can - bootcamps can be very expensiive if you can't find the free ones! You'll spend a lot of time working together with other beginner developers on projects, which is a great way to build relationships!
Start a coding club
If you can't find a coding club in your area, consider starting your own. You can use social media or online platforms to connect with other developers and computer science lovers who are interested in joining! I'm considering doing this in the future for younger kids, hehe!
Volunteer at tech-related events
Volunteering at tech-related events, such as conferences or hackathons, is a great way to meet other developers and computer science enthusiasts. You'll have the opportunity to work with other volunteers and attendees, and build relationships with them.
Use social media
Social media is a great way to connect. Use places like Tumblr, Twitter, Instagram (made post) and Tiktok! Follow influencers and regular developers in the field, and participate in discussions and communities related to computer science. I made a couple developer friends on Instagram and on here this way! Instagram is super supportive, everyone wants to help everyone! Love the coding community on Tumblr and Instagram the most!
Participate in online coding challenges
Participating in online coding challenges is another way to improve your skills and connect with other developers at the same time. Join coding competitions or participate in coding challenges on websites such as HackerRank or LeetCode!
Attend coding workshops
Attending coding workshops are always going on, look online for one online or happening near you! Meet with other attendees and network that way!
Contribute to online forums
Participating in online forums, such as Reddit or Stack Overflow! You can share your knowledge and ask for help with coding problems, and you might find other users with similar interests who are looking to make new friends or even collab on a project together! One of my developer friends met his developer friends on Reddit - all online!
Tumblr media
In terms of how to make friends, you guys already have something in common to talk about: programming/computer science. Work from there and I'm sure you'll be alright! 😎
I hope this helps and if anyone knows any other places, do suggest some please! Thank you for the question Anon! 🥰🙌🏾
