One of the strangest things about my hotel is the TV. Not that I use it much, but I keep it on for background noise. I get about 18 channels. Four of them are ESPN.
One of the (very) few things I like about California is the no-smoking law. You can’t even smoke near the entrance to the hotel.
Well, I didn’t pass the test I mentioned before. It wasn’t for lack of knowledge of how to program, or even much syntax. Several of the questions asked for free-form entry of INI file fields that did certain things. Other questions asked how the engine deals with things like switch statements when the default case is not the last case in the code block and what happens to cases after that. Several questions also concerned the nth argument of some arbitrary function, or required intimate knowledge of lesser-known array functions.
What a bunch of crap. I can write great code anyway. I don’t have to memorize API functions and INI settings I don’t use, and when I need to use array functions I’ll look up the argument order. I don’t need to know how the engine processes things when you feed it bad code—I refactor bad code when I see it so I don’t run it.
Bah.
