So you don't care about the quality of the work you do? You don't care about the environment you work in? You're not interested in what tools you'll be using, or what the state of the project you'll be getting involved in is? You don't care about other benefits like health insurance, 401k matching, covered educational ...

I would argue that ok() is more readable than the ones you mentioned. Yours are more informative, yes, but if I was writing lots of code all the time, I think I'd prefer the shorter version. The first time you encounter the code, you might need to read the docs, but after that you should be fine. Good? Bad? I don't kno...

Sorry, I don't follow your example. The equivalent of a generic function in Rust is a templated function in C++. A templated function in C++ is always statically dispatched. If you could give an example of code you consider equivalent in Rust and C++, where the former achieves static dispatch and the latter does not I'...

I once found a javascript bug on a company's website before interviewing. I documented it with a root cause analysis. My interviewer was the one who built the website and he was pissed haha but I'm glad I don't work for someone who can't handle people finding defective code he wrote.

Because this is how companies get sued. If interviewer X tells you I thought you did Y wrong and that's why we didn't hire you, even if they are 100% correct, they've just increased your chances of winning a lawsuit against the company a hundredfold. It sucks, but it's very unlikely to change when there are only risks,...

html is used on the web to make user interfaces when simple drawing functions would probably be more compact.

Programming is not a special, rare talent that only a few people can master. Anyone can learn how to program if they want to. The problem is that we don't know how to teach programming to anyone, only provide resources and hope that folks show up and teach themselves. This leaves our community full of special snowflake...

Depends how he's writing it. If most of the heavy lifting can be done by numpy or similar, it will be fast.

I really think the argument made by Architectures of Open Source Applications is really valid. I think it's absolutely atrocious that not a single course in my university (and most others) actually looked at any existing applications and how they are designed.

You sound like you've only got 1 or 2 years experience... because that's straight up amateur reasoning. I say this because there are many professionals who could give zero shits about the company and product but produce infinite amount more quality and value than someone who "cares".

Ouch, you got down-voted yet if a company is not using some form of metrics within their recruitment process, this is 100% true. Luckily my company basically ask for something incredibly trivial (using OOP) and I've yet to see a candidate do much more than wrap a few methods in a class so I just reject them all ;)
