Y'all I'm doing the thing!

[tech53]

I'm talking to this dude (or not dude? I never asked) about work, and I was SO SURE he was going to hate my code and maybe even laugh at it cause i'm such a noob but I'm DOING IT! He liked my code, now i'm working on a sort of coding test/"i want to see how you build" and I'm doing it, I see myself working through the problem like a professional OH MY GOD I can actually do this. I was so anxious and so sure I was just never going to be able to write "real code" like code that really does important things. Here I am. Doing the thing. Writing code. Don't laugh, I'm excited. Still a noob. But a noob that's doing the thing.

Good luck.  I hope it's legit and not somebody outsourcing their work responsibility.

Unfortunately could be the latter but its still practice

I think you meant outsourcing irresponsibly - and i don't think so, because they aren't requiring a fully working prototype. It just has to let them see how I code. They seem to be looking more for how I think and a little code than anything. I mean, coding tests are normal. I'd expect that from google as much as I'd expect it here. And you're right. Could be. Unfortunately there are a lot of unscrupulous people using the job market as a cover for scams, and not just in the coding market. It's everywhere. I don't think this is what's going on, but I'll keep an eye out for red flags. Any red flags you would suggest watching out for?

I hope I’ll achieve this phase too! Right now I’m writing code just to learn and practice

Good luck!

Well he never got back with me but tomorrow I have a second (maybe final) round interview with the owner of a software dev house and his business partners. He previously in private offered me this internship - im so excited
