Not flunking the tech interview

 There already is a book on " Cracking the Coding Interview ", but not one for how to not totally flunk it. This blog post assumes an interview for a job involving coding. Many server admin jobs, UI jobs, testing jobs, might not call for you to ever write a line of code. If you don't know it say so. I have never written a line of rust or so much as read a book about it. I know it is a programming language. I will not try to leverage that into solving a live programming puzzle in rust on a whiteboard. If you don't know, say so, don't bullshit. Better to preface it with, "I'm not sure but...." than to confidently bullshit as if no one will notice. The HR person might not notice, but techies will. And don't waste your breath on technobabble with the HR folk anyhow, even if it is actually true and coherent. HR wants to hear about successful past projects and happy customers, not the finers points of fdisk. Go read up on the common questions. They...

Well, it starts back when I was in my teens and started reading books at random at the library. I ended up in the health section and found it a strangely compelling genre because unlike fiction, it had actionable advice. So starts a lifetime of health hacking. First major experiment - vegetarianism. A read a book that made a solid case about the environmental, ethical and health case for vegetarianism. I signed up as a vegetarian, aka cheesatarian, because I could find cheese & egg dishes my family made & restaurants served. I spend the next 20+ years eating too much dairy, bounded only by some low-fat protocols I followed. Second major experiment - low fat. This was highly compatible with vegetarianism. It...
