True Story: Two Recent Interview Questions →
varlogme:
I did a second round interview with Twitter recently and the two technical questions I was asked are pretty interesting. The first I solved rather quickly but the second took a bit more time (and a hint).
Question 1:
Given a binary tree with elements of type int determine if the…
For question 1 I would have made a crawler for the tree, incrementing along the nodes in a...

SSHing into a dynamically changing IP
I made a poster for my desktop so I don’t have to check what my ip address is whenever I go out.
The script is so simple:
wget icanhazip.com
scp index.html server:posting_destination
rm index.html

Multimonitor redshift

Hackathon Product
Check it out : )
https://github.com/oliversong/text-automator
I solo’d this hackathon, so I didn’t really expect to win as much as find out a benchmark for how far I’d gotten in terms of being a developer. Turns out I can actually make a working product, so that’s a step.
Also, NO DESIGN IN THIS ONE! I can officially hold my ground as not-a-front-end-guy. The...

IAP
What have I learned this IAP?
-got comfortable with vim
-became very familiar with bash scripting
-finally learned regex
-got a pretty deep understanding of how poker works
-learned a lot about music and musicality
Overall, not bad.
Up next: a node.js / googlevoice project for the upcoming hackathon.
Also I should make a video of a freestyle, just to commemorate the half-year mark for my...
