jyotheproon Ask HN: What made you choose your current career?

When I wanted to goto college I wanted to become a pilot but I did not get an admit letter in most of the colleges but some demanded admission fee (which we could not afford).

My dad suggested I do computer science as the next option. Maybe I would not have liked being a pilot as a job but fir sure loving my programming life.

jyotheproon A Complete iOS 8 Course with Swift

Do you recommend this course for someone who is building apps for app store with objectiveC and just want to learn Swift

jyotheproon Ask HN: Do you program in multiple languages in a day?

Swift, Objective C, PHP

- Most of my time is spent on Objective C, Swift and PHP for side projects.

- Sometimes I use Objective C in Swift, PHP in Objective C, not super annoying as the IDE marks these as errors

- Productivity is not awesome but its a cost that I have to pay to work on more than one language.

jyothepro on Use Project-based Interviews Instead of “GitHub”

When you say "unduly verbose" I am not sure what exactly the interviewer/you are looking here. I purposefully made it verbose so that anyone who calls himself a programmer should understand what I am doing.
Even I dint spend any time in refactoring or optimization as this is just a hack to get past a job interview.
When an interviewer gives you tasks like this do they expect optimized and refactored code?
