Fasting has messed up my body. I DO NOT recommend doing this. Please consult a doctor first.

Hey Jeff. Thanks so much. I think I'm in touch with your team now.

What, I don't have a right to defend myself after being made fun of? When did I ever presume it would be simple?

Is the age old problem mean I'm too young to be taken seriously in any context?

Who is "we"? Also why would it be a code monkey job?

I meant design discussions, etc. Not just a code monkey. I'm sorry you think it is funny that I actually want to participate in the development process. Don't worry, at my current job, I know my place. I make sure not overstep bounds, etc.

Also, maybe I haven't been an Enterprise Fizzbuzz Java Developer for 6 years, but I've been keeping busy by having personal projects that most enterprise developers would probably not be able to understand.

I'll work for them in a heartbeat. Seriously, I want to work somewhere where I'm never bored, and can take part in conversations, etc. It seems like a good place for an ambitious new grad for a few years. If there are any Amazon employees reading this, please reach out!

Sure. With Debian, you can choose NOT to update it.

It seems like your first problem is you're using Windows 10. You agreed to let them do what they want with THEIR operating system.

I can confirm. My parents aren't technical at all. They were confused when I told them people work at Facebook.

Is that so? Why would tech workers be considered elite?

Is someone going to lose their job over this?

I just got rejected from them. I applied for a SE position, but they didn't like me I guess. They send you this really condescending rejection letter. I showed them my programming language that I built in C from scratch, and also my data structure library where I implement all the common data structures found in high level languages that I built from scratch in C, among the many projects

I have. It must have been my state school that turned them off. I know I could keep up there, but maybe they also turned me down because I'm 5 states away and they thought I wasn't worth the recruiters time.

edit: downvoter, if you could provide your rationale that would be great.

I agree. This looks like an elementary Linux tutorial.

I have "hard programming" personal projects. All my projects are in low level C. I have a data structure library, (think C++ stl). I also have a programming language I built in C with an AST, and function calls, variables, all that.

I really feel like a cowboy when I am debugging C with `gdb`

Someone just had to mention that _stupid_ show. Seriously. By empowering that show, you're just making fun of yourself and all the other programmers on here.

It's the same thing in C. Every system call takes at least 4 lines. assign the return value to an int, check the int, then check errno, etc.

This is the best part I took from this. I don't believe I have many positive role models in my life that align to my goals.

I understood his communication. He isn't a VC. If a VC asked me that I would know how to make an appropriate response. I'm also not fully aware of what you mean here.

Python is the best high level language out there. I wouldn't call golang C 2.0 because it has a GC.

That sounds like this one guy who is trying to get me to work for free for his "company".

"What kind of cyber security does your server have?"

Speaking to me in buzz words is a huge red flag.

I don't want to have to install browser extensions or configure reddit. Seriously I get enough of that by using Linux desktop.

The persistence of collapsing is a killer feature that I wish reddit had.

Yes. This is an ICANN rule, but I never received an email from them claiming they are going to hijack the WHOIS record. I'm still fighting with their completely unusable UI to try and figure out how to fix this.

Conclusion: Namecheap can't be trusted. And I am now looking for a provider to transfer my 25+ domains.

I think you're better off reading the box model spec.

Whiners in the interview process seems like a good one. I'm conscious about complaining about a tech stack, or even a build system. It doesn't matter if you don't like it.

He also thinks it's his job to pick the tech platform. He literally thinks he is capable of doing it.

He likes to use buzz words a lot. I think he should be a tech recruiter/salesman

If I ask him those questions, and he becomes offended at the fact, I think that will be a red flag. He seems to think that anything he says can't be questioned...going back to earlier, how he says he doesn't want to argue to get his point across when I asked him about what his role would be.

He said the way I asked it made him offended.

My view is that I touched on one of his weaknesses and it made him insecure about his position in the business.
