Programmers of Lemmy, what are your interviewing horror stories?
  • Edit: this is from the perspective of a technical interviewer.

    I've done around 200 or so technical interviews for mostly senior data engineering roles. I've seen every version of made up code, terrible implementation suggestion and dozens of folks with 5+ years of experience and couldn't wrote a JOIN to save their lives.

    The there were a couple where the resume was obviously made up because they couldn't back up a single point and they just did not know a thing about data. They would usually talk in circles about buzzwords and Excel jaron. "They big data'd the data lake warehouse pivot hadoop in Azure Redshift." Sure, ya did, buddy.

    Yes, they were "pre-screened". This was one of the BIG tech companies.

    What are the best games on F-Droid?
  • I really enjoyed Mindustry, even though I've never tried another factory-type game. The polish and depth was 100% there although I got lost at one point and didn't know how to progress. That game really changed my perspective on what is possible for FOSS. Godspeed, devs

  • Just saw all of your plant\flower shots and they're all phenomenal. I love that you keep\make them dark so it's like the subject melts into a dark void. You've got an awesome style.

    Are you shooting with a 105mm prime? Is it a dedicated macro lens? What kind of lighting do you look for when you shoot?

    Dock

    Perfect lighting and fog to make the dock look like it leads to nothingness.

    Definitely regretted not bringing my camera that day

    Athens. For some reason, this room forbade photography. Just this room. Why?! I took this shot from the balcony of a different section..

    Horseshoe Bend

    Probably a cliche landscape for a photographer. Near Page, Arizona, it's a mighty view and a good opportunity to pull out the wide-angle. Just don't let the crowd push your camera off a cliff during the sunset chaos. I might go back one day and try a sunrise shot.
