But the technical interview process can be a challenge for new Ruby developers. I'll teach you how to prepare, practice and give you techniques to answer tough questions.

I'm one week out of bootcamp, where we spent one week learning Ruby five weeks ago. I have a Ruby technical interview next week for a junior dev job.

This shit is the reason most great developers fail to get jobs they deserve. It's the non-technical equivalent of having a chef come in for an interview and draw a picture of their process for making an entree from how they prepare the meat to how they plate the food without ever stepping foot into a kitchen.
Nothing like passing up on the guy who created the tool 90% of your company uses simply because he couldn't work a whiteboard problem from memory.
Jesus.

If you're looking to practice how to solve algorithm problems with Ruby, there's a good resource that'll show you to solve problems like these:
- Compute nth fibonnaci number
- Does this linked list have a cycle
- Making change
- Binary search tree checker
- Find rotation point
- The cake thief
- Largest stack and more

So programming is just a form of logistics. A programmer's job is to achieve the most efficient transfer of information.

In India ,the rails developers interviewer may not know shit ,but they pretend (know it all) and reject good candidates. I have being interviewed by many such jackasses.

[@tylerepperson1555]

13:00 don't even act like you won't fire someone who doesn't fit in to the company in anyway. That's just disingenuous.

[@halforhalf-fo4fe]

call a spade a spade, who won't lick their narcissistic asses

[@darkpill]

This is pretty useless.
