Went in for another interview at Octopi. Last time they'd liked
me, but had liked other applicants better. Nothing wrong with
that, Adam is a phenomenal coder, I'd have hired him over me too.
Still, I jumped like a gay dog through flaming hoops when I found out
they had another opening, and had another interview today. Since
they'd already asked me all the questions last time, this was more of a
portfolio, so I showed them my blinged-out pong and pacman, both
written in Java, both solid, shiny and leet. They asked a couple
"We're working on this, how would you design the code, how would you
approach it, what parts would you put on the client, what on the
server" things, and I"d kind of had to think a lot of that through
before, so I had solid answers. Still, I was worried, because
this whole "You're good, but spaces are limited, and that guy over
there is better" tune I'd heard from a couple different places was
getting old. Like, Streisand old.
Got this in the email today. It's paraphrased/madlibbed for pure entertainment purposes.
"Dear Shaggy-
We would like to offer you a job at Octopi. Your official
title would be Codemonkey, and you'd have the following
responsibilities.
*Programmatic unleashing of fury
*Execution of leetness
You will have a wage (sidenote, don't care. I have a job!), and health insurance if you want (sidenote, kinda sick)
We'd like you to start immediately.
