Is there a clause in the contract that gives their claim teeth?

I’m sorry that happened to you. For future reference, anything beyond an hour or two is excessive, and anything they could actually use for profit is out of the question.

Pointless abstraction is a tool to ensure repeat contracts by vendors, not a good coding standard.

I have never got a job that required a live coding challenge, yet I’ve worked for major Fortune 500 tech companies, and have advanced my career about as far as one can go. Thankfully there are plenty of jobs that evaluate your merit based on what you’ve done in the past, and what you know, instead of whether you magically know if they want recursion or not for a deep loop in some obscure coding challenge that has little in common with real world problem solving.

2.5 months? You got robbed. You need to file criminal charges against this company and sue them

I have gigabit internet. It doesn’t suck for anything except Teams.

I never had any issues with Zoom or Slack. They do what they’re supposed to do. Jira is fine too, but I’m not a PM, so I don’t have to deal with anything other than the Kanban board.

Edit: I guess it’s relevant that I’m on a MacBook Pro, and not a Windows machine.

Teams is the worst product Microsoft has released since IE.

Maybe you just don’t have a reasonable comparison. We just switched from Slack and Zoom to Teams and it has significantly impacted our ability to collaborate and communicate. It’s constantly dropping calls, video quality is awful, annotation is awful, the layout is wasteful with tons of wasted space, audio is terrible, there’s no closed captioning visible while screen sharing, there are too many problems to list. It’s the type of product I’d expect from a high school programming class, not a trillion dollar company.

Jira is a masterpiece compared to the dumpster fire that is Teams.

JavaScript is used on virtually every website on the planet today though. BASIC hasn’t been used for anything in like 40 years.

Why would an internship train you on an antiquated language that hasn’t been used in decades?

It’s not a joke. I had similar dreams when I was learning object oriented programming. When you really understand OOP, you see just how accurately it represents the structure of things. It’s pretty brilliant.

Because they’re not there to stop computers, they’re there to stop people from getting legitimate support from a company that owes it to them.

Sony has the most annoying ones, which are designed to prevent people from submitting tickets. They’ll show you like 10 dice, and ask what they add up to. They make you solve like 16 of them before they let you continue. Shit should be illegal.

Why does your task bar look like you’re using Gnome?

Then call me out of touch because I think that immutable distros are a step backwards, and systems with bumper rails are for newbs who are afraid of the changeability that experienced users want and need. If I wanted a system to make all of my choices for me, then I’d just use iOS on an iPad.

Oh well yeah, I’m using SFTP. I didn’t think that I needed to be explicit, but I see now that I did.
