#coding interview

17 January - 100 days of Productivity - 16/100

Hi everyone!

I am still struggling with my new daily schedule, as I came back to the gym (as a developer, sitting all day long is hard for our bodies, I had to do something!!!).

So, from now on, I will do my study session at night, as I am going to the gym early in the morning.

I am doing Duolingo, Sololearn, and MIMO everyday, and it is good, because a big shipping company found me on LinkedIn, and asked me if I was available and/or interested in a job opportunity 😯 I do accepted, but I have no idea if I am prepared for their tests 😂

1). I am trying to let go of anxiety this year. The anxiety is not helping me so I just need to breathe and relax.

2). I don't really want to work for this company anyway, it's kind of a super shady start up which isn't really my vibe, so even when they inevitably reject me, it will be ok

3). This will be good practice

4). I have other coding interviews lined up over the next couple of weeks with companies that I actually AM interested in working for

5). The mantra: I am not unhireable. I am not incompetent. Given enough time and practice I can do well

Check out my blog on template method pattern with an excellent example on video game NPC usecase.

like i did the first problem in c++ and it went fine and the second problem wasn't hard in terms of logic but i did it in python and could not for the life of me remember how to get the length of a string. I was doing the c++ syntax with stringName.length and shit but in python it's len(stringName)..... like... I SHOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO SEARCH THAT UP!!! im so freakin defeated.... i really wanted this mentorship so damn bad.... this coulda been huge for me (mentorship with Google SE!!!) but opening any other tabs counts as "cheating". like... looking up basic syntax isn't cheating. it's a normal part of everyday coding.

besides, companies should really be focusing on problem solving and logic since AI can do basic coding now. memorizing the perfect syntax for every language is not important compared to understanding data structures & algorithms.

lokey what if i sent an email an begged....

The Collector.teeing feature introduced in Java 12 is a powerful addition to the Collector interface in the Java Stream API. It allows you to combine the results of two downstream collectors into a single result using a provided BiFunction. Here’s a detailed explanation along with a sample code demonstrating its usage: Explanation: The Collector.teeing method takes three…
