SDET with 5 years of experience in software testing & BS in Computer Science. I'm also not very good at filling out "About Me" sections. I'm not as much of an expert as I'd like to be, so am trying to soak up knowledge as fast as I can while balancing work and "real life".

If you could ask one technical interview question, what would it be Huh. I'm surprised. I came up with a brute-force solution for that in less than a minute - just in my head, but enough to start talking and scribbling code as fast as I could. I'm guess that there is no "trick", right? Could that be the issue - the experienced devs knowing that most interview questions have a twist of some kind, and are confused that they can't see it? |

What is a good environment for learning like? This is one solution, but it's not the only one that works, and it does not work for anyone with significant family or other life obligations. The expectation that all good devs will constantly invest large portions of their non-work lives into their work is toxic (having said that, it's not rare for good devs to do; it just shouldn't be an expectation in order to progress). Moving to a new workplace if the old one can't meet your career needs is entirely valid, but must be done before skills have rusted, not once it is too late. |

What is the single most effective thing you did to improve your programming skills? They let major students help TA the intro programming classes at my university. It was great experience! |
