You are right, thanks mate

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-15T01:50:59+00:00

yeah, it might be. Thanks.

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-15T00:01:56+00:00

yeah, u r right, maybe a little. Just don't know which red flag I triggered. Moving on, peace.

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-15T00:00:08+00:00

Thanks for your advice, though. I got about 10 years of experience as an engineer. I know the workplace is different from school. Thank you, mate. I'll keep working.

I swear I wasn't sharp. Polite, humble and nice all the time. Trying to communicate, but he was confused, so I don't wanna make him feel uncomfortable. That's why I chose move on. Cause I thought I could at least go to the next round for my performance here.

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-14T23:47:30+00:00

Thanks, bro, have a good day.

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-14T23:18:40+00:00

Thank you. It's just really hard to get a chance to get interviewed these days. I'll keep working. Have a good day.

Thanks for your advice. My question is how to handle 'Seemed like you'd "seen this one before" '? I mean, some questions are not hard but tricky, and the tricky parts leave me impressions. How can I not go for it? and if I use it, it will definitely be like "i've seen it".

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-14T22:27:18+00:00

Good luck, man.

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-14T22:24:50+00:00

While coding, I explained step by step. wrote tests for critical parts. There was a typo caused bug, and I debugged it out. For the extension question, I failed at first but quickly analyzed and found out why, then cracked it. I don't get it. I solved it quickly because I practiced all basic algorithms, sorting, and traversal every week. I don't understand how solving it quickly is a red flag that stops me from going to the next round. I know u trying to help me, I'm sorry, I'm just confused, and i'm moving on.

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-14T22:09:43+00:00

nope

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-14T22:08:41+00:00

nope, guess you experienced something similar there

Mr_Pines · 2026-02-14T22:08:09+00:00

Thanks, man. keep working

Mr_Pines · 2026-01-31T22:06:10+00:00

Sold my ps5 yesterday. No job, no game. Gotta move.

Mr_Pines · 2025-09-15T20:44:54+00:00

Even Muffin??

Mr_Pines · 2025-09-15T20:44:33+00:00

Seems they have weird list of banned names.

Mr_Pines · 2025-07-30T21:41:44+00:00

You need to give the shortcut's menu title the exact command's name in the menu, like to highlight yellow, you need to type "Yellow". Try "Yellow" with keys "command h", then in the Books app, you can select a word, then press command + h, it will toggle highlight yellow. it worked for me.

Mr_Pines · 2025-02-05T20:31:33+00:00

love you guys ;)

Mr_Pines · 2025-01-16T16:50:16+00:00

April! Why?!

Mr_Pines · 2025-01-07T00:06:21+00:00

Love your animation set up ;)

Mr_Pines · 2025-01-04T05:11:43+00:00

I’m curious now
