Flashbacks to elementary school when everyone has to read a page out loud and you want to scream because Robbie keeps messing up.

"Agree politely and delete nothing. Never apologize for who you are" - Such a powerful phrase

To be fair, writing raw bytecode is basically arcane magic at this point.

You have to summon a wizard to kill the demon process

The part about the "javanisse" is a parody of a norwegian folklore called "husnissen"(house elf), an elf that lives in every house, and helps santa claus on christmas eve. To keep him happy you must leave a bowl of "risengrynsgrøt" (rice porridge, a norwegian christmas dinner appetizer tradition) out for him to eat, or else he will destroy the house. "Og en" means "and one" in norwegian.

I can't believe it felt more of a fever dream than me being drunk and writing the quintessential primeagen article yesterday. It was incredible.

I only understood not to read the hacker news

This was just so beautiful. The marten loopback in the end was the perfect cherry on top

I was a CS major, program in Java, and dabble in Clojure, and I have no idea what I just witnessed...

"Cracking the code interview" "Acing the code interview" And now, the latest and greatest: "Hexing the code interview"

When is Prime going to accept his nature and enable the OpenDyslexic font?

I think it is incredible that a man with dyslexia has a career as a professional article reader

I think primes brain reads like unordered UDP packets

EVERY time they asked me if anything they could tell me about the company i've said no and every time i got the job... sometimes a question is just a question.

Because if you say yes, you show you did no homework on the company. It’s a trap card.

​@@TehKarmalizer In some cases, yes. In other cases, no. If you ask to learn about a very specific thing, that instead shows you know about the company and you're interested in it. Just asking for general information is a bad move though.

TTD on the whiteboard! LOL! That killed me.

I'm a native English speaker from New York City, took Italian in college, French in high school, and Spanish in middle school. I once went to Montreal before college and had a difficult time trying to ask for a map and directions with my broken high school French while trying to fight off my brain's tendencies to try to recall broken middle school Spanish since I was the only one of my group of three friends who knew _any_ French at all (2011, pre-Google Translate app). I'm more impressed if the code in this story _worked_ than the fact that dude did it seamlessly since whenever I program I also fight off the urge to switch between JS, C++, and PHP regularly regardless of what the language I'm actually using for the project is.

YES! I was waiting for him to cover one of these

The nordic aesthetic kinda fits too well with computer science lol

Love the thumbnail blurb, nailed it

This is the story of how Tim met Tom, The Genius.

Hell, it's about time.

Thank you Flip, you da real MVP.

Yeah, JVM bytecode is cool, but I would have preferred it to be implemented on top of JDSL…

arcane technomancy is the best kind of software dev

this is something new

bloodninja: Aight, I put on my robe and wizard hat.

you gotta do sequel "typing the technical interview" too

the runes call forth to us all, but few dare hear them

The prose reminds me a James Mickens blog post from his time at Microsoft.

It was kind of funny how you mis highlighted the text when giving the "hit t-ball" analogy lol

There's so much satire and sarcasm going on, I'm having trouble unraveling the true intent of "never read hacker news".

Oh, Burnt Rennoldz of the mighty stash... This is ingenious... or maybe it is gensanity..

Lettin bro cook on the interview 😅 Next thing you know you got 5 mins left and you’re askin “so…. Do you wanna write some pseudo code at least???”

WAIT, so do you actually ask about the company when given the option or not? I would go for "yes"?

1:54 "cons" is not a constructor, its an operation in Lisp like languages to prepend an element to a list.

big fan

Ty Flip!

06:45 we all laughed indeed

This was funny as fuck

This guy needs to interview with the CHROOT people!!! His tribe is looking for him!!!

You do a good impression of Steve Carell in Despicable Me, not sure if you were even aware. 🤣

Oh the Epic !

Cafe bebe

oh, you have to do Typing the technical interview next!

advent of code with clojure now!

CHROOT, the only thing I got out of this...

This is why I dont think programmers are sane.... But they sure are fun to be around if you like talking about the 'Best' way to write code XD

As a women, I very much needed that. I always felt weird comparing myself to a wizard hermit when I hack whatever I'm hacking. I'm becoming a witch brewing potions from raw bytes from now on.

Hey, we're in the wrong directory. *Minor directory teleportation!* It failed, I think our directory is in another continent. You take out a folded, slightly moldy parchment scroll and start chanting. *Greater Inter-Direcrory Teleportation!* The two of you disappear from the entire C drive continent in a flash

No hacker news, gotcha.

You can always just say perceptive!

6:35 Thanks FLIP! Seeing prime get all confused make me fells smarter than him.

LET THE BRO COOK!!

Hello Prime, I have a question . I am a software engineer student who is in his second year now, I am trying to find an intership but it seems like i am not getting any interviews yet , which is frustrating, so I know very well HTML/CSS , JS , PHP , C , Python , Java What next should i learn ? (maybe focusing more on backend)

@alexanderkirilov7820

9 ай бұрын

Stop learning stuff (btw I bet you that as a second year student, with no job offers, you definitely don’t know all those languages “very well”.) Just build stuff (I know, it might not be the answer you are hoping for and you might not see how that is relevant to your goals of internship, but I think you’ll surprise yourself if you actually try building something or any complexity and quality) In any case best of luck in these challenging times

​@@adibakkari7313Rather than learning 10 languages at a surface level, I would go deep into a language and build some real-world projects, contribute to open source and refine my knowledge further by reading how other people code similar projects in a production environment.

Lol
