Perhaps the biggest joke was why they rejected me. Apparently I only used “basic concepts of object oriented programming.” I found that to be the best because using anything more advanced might diffuse the logic too much, something I didn’t like. But, no, they probably think I should use everything in “Clean Code” because they probably worship that book.

i hate that our profession has been overtaken by that snake oil. my goal is to some day fill my own development company with developers smart enough to see through that bullshit and reject it.

no leetcode interviews, no take home tests, no bullshit. what a dream. now if i could just stop getting scammed by clients who don’t pay...

I am too poor to open a development company. But, if I ever did, I would want it to be employee owned, with employees having power to oust the entire executive team. Clients who don’t wanna pay are too fucking common.

"Clean" because all the code that does anything is split into countless three line "atomic functions" and buried under layers of observables and factories I bet.
