Test


You passed last night's test, all the rest of us failed.  I just copied your work, but didn't turn it in on time!

Nobody said there would be a test! Anyone got a pencil.

Last Sunday, I had a difficult coding test for AWS, and did well on it

Heard anything back yet?

I don't know about coding tests but recruiting has metrics for prompt communications.

See the Frontier. I did very well on the coding test; had a phone screen, and have a 4 hour interview session (4 1 hour sessions in a row, with a break) for the week after my current contract ends. Couldn't take that much time out of a work day to do it sooner.

I generally respond within an hour, but sometimes a couple of hours. The 4 hour virtual interview had to be scheduled after I finish my current work, and most places understand and appreciate someone will finish work properly.

BTW, that's the easy part. Data structures and algorithms are more important, and picking the right data structure is very important. (For example, in C++, I regularly use list, forward_list, vector, set, and map. Knowing their particular strengths and weaknesses is important, but I still go to cplusplus.com or cppreference.com a lot.

Back from Florida.  I've decided that selling the place was a good thing. The more ties I cut with my past the more liberated I feel.

What about the whole "Florida is an island of freedom in an increasingly-repressive Leftist America" line?
