@AmyShackles @nwthomas Plus, if you're a parent working from home, you would normally have a mostly kid-free day to do your work.

Not so when schools are closed.

Also, pun intended in "WFH going on now isn’t *remotely* similar?" 😁

@erinfranmc I hope that was ES6 coffee you spilled and not some older version.

@WinnieSong_x Conclusion: It's not a thing.

@Austen Whatever the substance is, it didn't manage to hook me.

Tried Chick-Fil-A for the first time about a year ago, spent the whole meal staring at my sandwich with a furrowed brow, trying to figure out what the hell the hype was about.

@kembreyfarquhar The trick is to never get any interviews. 😉

@hannahrosecodes @sam_does_code Sorry, I didn't have time to read this whole tweet, I'm gonna spend a few hours on Stack Overflow now looking for "rule 1 of debugging."

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

@JojoZhang15 @LambdaSchool It was the hardest for me, too.

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

@Austen Tells me @nytimes has thought up some very clever euphemisms for "robbery."

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

Programmers: You want to give your non-technical friends and family members some idea of what programming is.

How do you do it?

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

@kembreyfarquhar @sam_does_code @LeetCode @hackerrank @codewars I've wondered about that! I've submitted some solutions to problems where it was clear the trick was to follow some canonical algo, like binary search, but then my stats are really weak, like "Faster than 16% of other Python submissions."

Then I'm like, "The hell, Leetcode?!"

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

Experienced SWEs: "Get a whiteboard for practicing algo problems, cuz ya need to plan it out before ya code."

Me: "Nah get a legal pad and a pencil cuz what the experienced SWEs said but you can take it outside with your iced tea."

@ItsladyKadie @backtobackswe I just discovered @backtobackswe yesterday when I was looking for videos to help me understand Quickselect!

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

@sam_does_code @kembreyfarquhar @LeetCode @hackerrank @codewars Project Euler has some super mind-bending problems! I solved a bunch of them a long time ago, and loved it, but I think LC is a better resource for learning.

Project Euler doesn't give stats on runtime or memory, and many of the problems require a lot of mathematical insight.

@Austen I actually think my background of a bedsheet covering baker's racks full of household supplies down in the basement looks quite professional.

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

Recursion is a CS topic that I've long understood in an abstract sense, and have been able to apply to simpler cases like factorials, but have always struggled to apply to other problems.
Well, today I wrote a recursive solution, and it worked the first mf-ing time. #progress

@KaiHaskell Means your granny ain't no dummy.

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

Today I spent some time researching Amazon S3, and I reached the conclusion that I could probably figure out how to use it in my project.

And then I thought, "Damn, maybe I'm really, truly a deb weveloper, I mean web developer."

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

@RyanleeHamblin @LambdaSchool My team has way more ideas than we can possibly implement in 8 weeks. That's one of those good problems, right? 🙂

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

Wow, my leetcode submission was accepted on the first try, and faster than 99.6% of JS submissions?
I can't believe mine eyes.

[Dan Hauer @DanLHauer]

Kind of a big deal for me: my first solved #leetcode problem.

The stats aaaaain't pretty (I turned linked lists into arrays then back into a linked list 🙄), but hey, it was "medium" difficulty, I did it, I'm gonna do more, and you can offer me a job right now if you like.
