    “Introductions and a bit of smalltalk” - I would shit myself if an interviewer started asking about smalltalk… /s

      I was thinking the same thing. I mean, I just did a coding test for a potential job, and I know I did at least as good as, and likely better than this.

      edit: just to prove to myself, I went ahead and wrote the program without looking things up. I’m self-taught so I feel pretty proud. It took about 25 mins, and it works!

      Any sufficiently skilled developer has a bunch of things they hate about the language they use the most, and are happy to tell you about it.

      This is a characteristic I unironically keep an eye out for when hiring.
