  • They wanted to hear how confident you were in your ability to solve problems with .NET. They didn’t want to hear “aCtUaLlY, nO oNe Is PeRfEcT.”

    Yeah, I mean no shit, with hindsight it’s obvious they were looking for the 10/10 answer. I was kicking myself for days afterwards because that’s the only question I felt I answered “wrong”. Tech interviews are such a shit show though that you can start to overthink things as an interviewee. Also, an important aspect of the question that I didn’t mention was they specified “1 is completely new, and 10 is working at Microsoft on the .net framework itself”. The question caught me off guard. I have literally no idea what working at Microsoft on the framework is like. In that context being a 10/10 felt like being among the most knowledgeable person of c# of all time. Could I work on the framework itself? Idk maybe, I’ve never thought about it, I don’t even know what their day to day is. I should’ve just said 10/10 though, it was a dev II position to work on a web app, it wouldn’t have been that hard.












  • The infuriating thing about dragons dogma has been all the simple things they could fix but didn’t. The gameplay and atmosphere is amazing but then Capcom have to shoot themselves in the foot constantly. A friend of mine just lost 8 hours of gameplay because they accidentally clicked “Load from last inn” instead of “load from last save” which apparently overwrites your singular save file and removes any progress you made after resting at that inn.

    The singular save file BS was a problem in the first game, why the fuck did they reimplement it in the second game!?
