Homework->Interview (Programmer)
« on: October 20, 2012, 10:13:54 am »
Well, for my Korean homework (worth 5 out of 100 points), I felt like I actually wanted to interview someone, not just asking my dad a couple of questions.
Since I'm interested in programming, I'd like to interview a programmer, over PMs, preferably.
I don't know where exactly to post this, so here it is. xD

Can someone volunteer, or perhaps recommend a interviewee? I think Bay12 had a couple programmers, as in people who code for a living.

It doesn't matter which kind they are, be it designing, systems, or database.

I basically just send the person a suite of questions, probably 15, and that person replies!
I'll be doing the translation. Though what the name would be is a problem... make up one? xD

Hello Skyrunner.

I know I don't have a lot of posts, but I mostly just lurk around here anyway. I made this account some time ago.

I am a programmer. More specifically I am a student, and a programmer. I have a part time job as a student programmer at a local company developing a huge search engine, where I specialize in optimizing their code to run on big parallel systems. When not working, I study computer science, or program, most likely both at the same time.

I don't mind answering some questions to a aspiring programmer/computer scientist. =)

I'm a full time programmer who didn't have a degree in comp science. That makes me more interesting :P

If you're looking I'll volunteer. I'm two years into a Computer Science degree, currently doing a paid year long internship as a programmer, working on the platform team of a Business SMS company.

The company where I work is pretty awesome, with a heavy focus on agile development methodologies (especially Scrum (the teams have daily sprint meetings every morning), Test Driven Development, Pair programming).

Hmm... Can I send you all the questions? xD I'm genuinely curious about programmers as a job.

I'm a web programmer working in the industry with a 4 year college degree. Just to differentiate me from the competition above.

How did you say this position we're interviewing for is paying again? ;)
