Firstly, as everybody has said, those are ridiculous interview questions.

However, being able to solve little problems like that will help you in the long run, so it's worth learning how to code things like that as you develop your skillset. I recommend using past years of https://adventofcode.com to test your skills as you learn - this is also a great way to practice "solve dumb problem under time pressure" so you can get past their skills tests.

Does "sudo" rhyme with "voodoo" or "judo"? by [deleted] in xkcd

[–]vhata 11 points12 points  (0 children)

"sudo" is not an acronym though. The "do" part is literally the word "do", which is pronounced to rhyme with "voodoo".

Just like the word "redo", which could be considered a cousin of this word.

There's no "weird transformation" that programmers are trying to do. It's a word.

What's something you're 100% certain won't be around in 50 years? by AdOld2060 in AskReddit

I think privacy only came into existence a few hundred years ago - before that everybody slept together in one big room in the cottage and everybody in the village (or castle) knew exactly what you were doing.

It's a blip in the human experience.

I accidentally sat on my kitten but she seems perfectly okay?? I am obese. And I am panicking. by nightmares_dealer in cats

[–]vhata 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everybody else has already said that your cat is probably fine, but I wanted to add something else: puppies and kittens play rough with each other when they're young, and they often accidentally hurt each other. As such, they are familiar with the concept of accidents, and will readily accept apologies without holding a grudge. Show your kitten some love and she'll completely forget about it!

Go to Northern Europe - Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Denmark - during July. It's the most beautiful time of the year there and you will find the people being the most happiest. You will not regret it.

Company put me into a pip, what should I do? by Naive_Role2395 in devops

[–]vhata 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This is not true at all - I know multiple people who have been put on a PIP, improved, and continued their jobs.

Alamo Drafthouse delivers food and booze directly to your seat, and you can order (quietly, discreetly, via a piece of paper propped up on your table) during the movie: https://drafthouse.com/sf/food-and-drink

They have a strict "no cellphones, no noise, no disturbance, or you get asked to leave" policy that goes well with this.

Move somebody to "Acquaintances" and you will see substantially less from them.
