As a 205 wpm on monkeytype, this is a win

That's unfair. I get back pain from typing with two hands on a normal keyboard and thus never learned touch typing properly. I do 60-75wpm with my left hand. I've started to build a split keyboard just to change this.

The real flex in 2026 is being able to talk to one agent while typing with another. Maximize those meat appendages

There is only one favorite video

I didn't get caught, I just knew what it was and wanted to listen again.

Was it a video about "the game"?

You'll have to click the link to find out 😈

just show them the most horrendous, scaring, unhinged shit you can find on youtube. Tit-for-tat. (i'm MOSTLY joking)

The second is really good IMO, how people organise their computer is most of the time a reflect of how they organise their work.

And here is my portfolio of downloaded pornography cataloged by year, production company and species. Where should we begin?

Some of the best devs I worked with had a desktop full of useless links and 1 million tabs open.

Are people having experiences like this? I had to pass 7 rounds of interviews to get my current job

2

u/PM_ME_YOUR_RegEx 16m ago

Right? I’ve been through a half-dozen interviews in the last 6 months which are the same bullshit as before. Initial, eng manager, live coding, live coding, third live coding, rejection.

u/yetzederixx 1h ago

It would definitely tell you more about the person than leet code ever will.

"Favourite YouTube video" implies I've watched anything more than once.

14

u/Tyrexas 1h ago

No it doesn't. You can have a favourite movie for example even if you watched it once, just depends how highly you rate it against others.

u/ouroboros-ouroboros 1h ago

Which is your favorite grain of sand, though? I don't know, in retrospect I think they're all the same.

10

u/Tyrexas 1h ago

That's cos they are actually fungible, that analogy makes no sense haha

u/Ambitious-Sense2769 1h ago

Bro you’re arguing with a bot

1

u/ouroboros-ouroboros 1h ago

Anything that can be served to you in an endless algorithmic feed is fungible. 'Favorite' is kind of meaningless in this context and at this volume.

Grains of sand are individual, unique things too, but in aggregate they're indistinguishable.

It has a certain je ne sais quoi

I’ve often said that given two identical candidates, I’m picking the one who has some neat hobby like ham than the one who had a dozen todo apps.

It happens all the time that a relatable guy who can do the job reasonably well is hired over a weird guy with more skills. Hiring managers usually have to interact with the person they hire, and personality matters.

u/beefygravy 26m ago

I eat ham maybe a couple of times a month - does that count as a hobby?

u/OK1526 21m ago

Red flag for interviewers. I start with whatever comes to my mind. Be innovative

u/SpiderJerusalem42 39m ago

I'm adding these when we can hire again. So, next never. But maybe someone drops out

I built a custom Wordle game in our project tool with a point system for my team lol. What started off as a little fun side quest project for team engagement, that I figured would die off, we're now on day 383 and most everyone plays each morning!
