    My bank account is located at the Western Union branch on the corner of Happiness and Health. Just send it to VB_Coder. I'll collect the cash and send you the rest of the code. :thumbsup:

      Can't do that! What if the candidate has read the same article? They should find about ten different "interview questions" articles, and then take a few pieces from each one... Make sure to take entire clauses, not just individual words... For example... "What's the difference between Polymorphism and Quicksort?" "How would you estimate how many manhole covers there are on an airplane?"

      Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

      I thought that was the idea of "interview questions" articles? You learn 'em, the interviewer asks 'em, you parrot them back, you get the job! So obviously only the real, top quality, most experienceder of the experienciest, bestest of the bestest programmers would read them. :laugh: [OT] Google would appear to believe that "experienceder" is a real word, but "experienciest" isn't...

            I actually interviewed for this job. Things went really well right up to the end where I was told that I would have to wear a tie on office days. I walked out and didn't look back.

                    Sounds like too much work to me. You have to be there when needed. Terribly intrusive. I mean, sure, I have to be here every day, but it's rare that I'm needed. Being needed is far more hype than its worth. :laugh:

                      We really shouldn't need more than 1 programmer should we? I mean what would all those people do? Now, Marketers...we're going to need 100s of them. :)

                          Nothing like a little arrogance to fuel a new startup! Unfortunately, literally everyone thinks they have the next big thing; yet they never actually do. Good luck to the poor sap that gets suckered by this non-sense!

                              That's what the other three programmers are for. Three programmers are roughly equivalent to 99 marketers by my calculations. Sure there's a little bit of slack, but I'm confident if we pull together we can make up the difference!

We need a programmer who has been developing websites and platforms since they were a teenager! C, C++, PHP, Python, Javascript, and Go would be the languages you have mastered! The pay for this position is incredibly high, between $350k to $450K annually. You will only be required to be in the office to work when needed. Otherwise you are allowed to work remotely, so long as you get your tasks completed on time. Must have real talent, as we are creating a life changing platform that will change the medical industry. The team would be small, as there would only be 3 other programmers working with you. We have set aside 5 million to pay programmers, so this position is incredibly high paying. Please apply ONLY if you are truly skilled at programming: topfreelancegigs.work

                                        Wait, I was a teenager earlier this year, and have been programming for 3 years. I have slight knowledge of all of these, and I guess that would make me an expert. Where do I sign up?
