Senior Engineer

coding interview

[ledgekindred]

Lo it is written.... Thou shalt NOT have two such silverbacks working at the same locale, lest they catch scent of each other and FIGHT to the death. Thou shalt ALLOW such ancient ones two weeks off per year to REFRESH microcode and firmware. If thou'st wish for a bountiful harvest, thou SHALT provide the ancient ones with terminals and keyboards mechanical. ABOVE ALL - thou shalt NOT ask the revered for their secrets, for doing so shalt DAMN you to knowledge of the kind you wish not to know.

There are _still_ unix admin gurus from the 70's and 80's out there. If you go to the deepest pits of the most obscure mainframe server rooms out there, and move through the jungle of hanging cables and server racks and computer cabinets... you'll find them there, surrounded by green and yellow glowing dumb terminals all over, a dozen old crusty keyboards (no mouse in sight), and a beard that looks like it has grown to be part of the surrounding cable jungle, still maintaining the top level domain networks and the servers that nobody knows even exist anymore but without which the entirety of the internet would collapse because no data would move between countries.

400 years of experince? Everyone in HR "he meets the requirment for entry level position"

[davideangella]

More like a señor engineer, with that moustache.

I love how he taught JavaScript to chimps as a side project, but he doesn't list it on his resume as a programming language. lol

[MrCmon]

Can't get a job, because I have less than fifty years experience with C#.

"I could tell you some stories. I could tell you some stories."
Without fail, every old programmer has said to me some variation of this line.

[AexisRai]

"I have slain... my enemies."
I can't get over this part

[oopserv]

teaching small pack of primates javascript 😭😭

[timgehrsitz]

"I could tell you stories, I could tell you some stories" crACKED me up

This is your magnum opus

"I mean 400 years of microsoft experience, that's good.
It says here you know COBOL, that is literally impossible."

He smiled as he recounted on all the interviewers he had vanquished. All of them now locked betwixt a realm more terrifying than hell, and more transcendent than heaven. With his mustache glowing and his eyeglass lenses gleaming, he reclined into the chair that once held his adversary. Under his breath he spoke: "Thank you for interviewing with me. Unfortunately, I'll be considering other options."

[steartfires]

Typical snr engineer fires hiring manager before he even hires him.

[abrarmahi]

i watch this every night before going to sleep

[darkfire]

Well that COBOL experience would come in handy right about now 😂

[Runnable]

You don't ask a man with that level of seniority to write a "String reversal algorithm".

[bryanenglish]

As a Senior Engineer, I find this to be highly accurate.

[anirudhrowjee]

Deadass just called free() on that interviewer

[coolmanjack]

I thought he was going to pop him back into the other chair and say he reversed the strings
