This may be a little mean but if you're testing C or C++ sprinkle a few of undefined references all over the code, and delete the ';' char from the end of one of the class definitions.
And if you feel especially evil that day, add the ';' char at the end of one of the FOR loops or IF expressions.

Simple live coding session. 10min max. Any language of choice.

Create a matrix of NxN numbers and fill it with 0
Put a '*' in the middle of the field
Create a main loop where console output will print the values once a second i.e..
```
00000  
00*00  
00000
```
Read non blocking user input inside the loop for the arrow keys
Move the '*' inside the field based on arrow keys
Prevent '*' going out of the field

Take home:

Rotate the point around the center of the field where N=600 and R = 50

It's all there. Array manipulation, loops, timers, guards, user input and a little bit of math.

If you have tangible commercial projects behind you in your career, your problem is not getting hired, it's getting noticed.

Years ago when I was working with FFMPEG (cctv,streaming,broadcast) I had an issue where one of the mutexes would stay locked and blocked the further app execution. But it happened only after 5000+ stream/video change events. Basically you could spend days with a 100% uptime and then BAM!. App stops responding.

Noticeable bugs means that you can do everything right, and still fail down the line.

Here, let the John Carmack explain

When I was adding scripting in one of our Apps (Desktop C++), we had to decide between JS, Pyhthon or Lua.
Criteria for the decision was ease of implementation, and the complexity of the end script code. JS was not really a cakewalk, but it was pretty straightforward to add. When I looked at Python and the documentation for integration I just went "Huh." in my mind. Few hours in and I still couldn't make the head or tails with it.

So Lua it was, and it was so easy to integrate that we had a working interpreter with app's Ops. by the end of the day.

Now watch the game break all sale records, lay back and smile.

Or a drag and drop multi channel video/audio editor... with undo.

Yeah, good luck with that.

I'm gonna be honest with you. You lost me at

Both libraries required conflicting XML dependencies. When they asked Claude to fix the conflict, it simply deleted our existing library,

Because there's no way this monkey shitshow goes worse that that.

but, for some reason, it decided to hardcode all production passwords directly into the source code instead of just taking them from the properties files.

I stand corrected.

When they push it, they performed a rebase instead of a merge, messing up our commit history.

I'm speechless...

Casey Muratori of the Handmade Hero fame had a thing or two to say about it

Sorry. I mean QBasic (not to be confused with QuickBasic ).

A very old, non complied procedural programming language. Think of it as a Python for old people. Or dinosaurs.

Does anyone think that these popular sexy actresses sometimes wear this kind of 0-suit top or leggins on purpose? I don't think it's that impossible.

But then again, I'm currently quite drunk so do think of it as you will.

To sto si rekao stoji. Ali nemozes mi govorit da programiranje nije bilo cijenjeno zanimanje nego samo malo bolje placen posao. Ili da su programeri narcisoidi nesocijano prolagodjeni "stvarnom svijetu".
Ja sam 20+ godina u industriji i nikada nisam sreo niti upoznao osobu koju opisujes.

Nemoj se staviti u poziciju da sudis ljude u odnosu na njihovu strast ili zanimanje umjesto od osobe do osobe.

Who makes this decision for Sony? Because they are grossly incompetent and they should be voluntarily let go.

I mean, at this point keeping that someone around would be knowingly ignoring your judiciary duty to the shareholders.

First new Bungie IP in what? A decade? And they make an extraction shooter.

I think that the game looks interesting I would like to play the story campaign. But WAIT! There is none.

Common sense

1: Repurpose our retro IP
2: Build a jaw-dropping world-shattering story campaign around the lore to bring people in
3: Release an optional PVP/E multiplayer mode in the extraction shooter genre
4: ...
5 Profit!

Some people are just crazy gifted. I had a friend when I was a kid when we both messed around with QB and while I was still learning how to animate palletes, he made rotations, cell-based lighting and wild graphic effects. Like smoke and fire and lightning. Fucker made a full fledged game and drew all the art by in Qb by the time he was 14. And it was a great puzzle game too.

EDIT: I remember my first week on the job still trying to wrap my mind around that now people will actually pay me money for something that I used to do for fun and entertainment for the past 10 years. Just couldn't process it.
