  • If you’re doing it live with another person what’s most important is explaining your reasoning and speaking through your solution. When the test is being supervised by a qualified programmer then the objective isn’t to see how you solve that specific problem but rather how you reason trough stuff

    If it’s just an unsupervised timed test just cheat as much as you want since the test is bullshit and most likely has nothing to do with the job you’re actually applying for.




  • Still driving it, 2008 1.6 gol power, got it 3 years ago.

    Very much a south American version of a golf but since it wasn’t designed that much for security it weighs 1000 kilos and has 97 hp.

    But it’s one of the most reliable cars in the country and while the car has multi fuel injection the accelerator is mechanical, the steering is hidraulic, no ABS or Traction control, it has a markedly notchy 5 speed manual and the suspension is both stiff but with some significant body roll, mostly thanks to it’s light weight.

    Thing drives like a FWD kart and I love it, you feel like you’re going super fast or doing dangerous stuff even in completely safe situations under the speed limit. Can’t wait to get it to a track day (they’re very uncommon in my country).

    On top of all they’re worth 4k usd at most and the parts for it are dirt cheap. And the engine design is actually a Mercedes design from the 80s so it’s pretty solid people get 150 HP out of it very easily (which leaves you with the power to weight ratio of a golf GTI) with a few mods and if you get forged Pistons and a proper turbo you can go past 300 hp






  • I found it amusing when the security team in my company sent me parts of my password in plaintext saying it was insecure (because it didn’t have special characters in it) and recommended I use a password manager

    The account is used for the ancient VPN software and all of our ssh management tools

    And windows login if you’re using windows.

    Yeah good luck using a randomly generated password that you have to type in multiple times everyday
