Library meetup tomorrow night!
yeah i probably still should get the pomodoro going, though in all likelihood my new job will have me on an agile team, and then we’ll have micromanaged time regardless
it’s almost like it was done on purpose
They seriously better call me before their next meetup xD :laughing:
and that looks really funny if you have no idea what the test was xD
I've done the first two steps of web 101 xD
Hey guys, if any of you are looking to touch up on your algorithm skills (many languages supported), use the following link to sign up for codewars :D. Using the link to sign up will give me 'honor' (yup :D), but the site is actually pretty cool, and a good practice tool for anyone with at least basic programming skills.
@dcpking you return! :D
It went well, though I accidentally used
slice in place of split in my code challenge, and wrote the algorithm mostly imperatively, whereas it would have been cleaner and more readable if I wrote it with declarative syntax. Once I got home I did a couple on Codewars and then were much better, especially with the use of chaining.
But yeah all around I think it went quite well. I'll know more either today or first thing next week. Now I have another interview in 4.75 hours
Anybody going to barcamp this weekend? I'll be there
holy hell is that this weekend?
Anyhow, before starting, some catch-up for everyone curious:
Yes, I do now work for Microsoft. I work as a Consultant for the Data Insights division, which means that I get shipped off to work for some needy company. ("needy"!! usually not "nerdy" - that's why they're needy :) )Data Insights are the people specialising in MS SQL Server and BI. Right now I get up at some unGodly hour on Mondays, drive to PHL (leave my car at PreFlight), fly to DTW, visit Avis, and go to the Ford ITek centre in Dearborn to work on a kinda neat system - it's a multi-processor, shared-nothing implementation of SQL Server called APS (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/sql-server/analytics-platform-system). Frida afternoons I come back, 40 billable hours under my belt.
So that's why I've been noticeably absent - I'm very sorry!!
OTOH, if anyone wants to learn anything about SQL, or about databases in general, I guess, then I should be working remotely the week of Thanksgiving, so could present a bit if anyone would like me to. We just need to decide wither on a venue or on a way of webexing things - maybe Skype would be better, although the compatible version is still in Beta for Linux and I haven't tried it out yet (volunteers anyone?)

Yes, @SimplyPhy , @Lilyheart - I'll see you at the BarCamp - email me for my phone # (use my handle here at gmail)
the more useless the better
@dcpking just fyi this chatroom is in the public. If you are not okay if an employer sees your big message I can delete it. YouTube Live + this chat room chat.montcode.com is what MontCode uses for streaming stuff.
