Blog: How to get a programmer job

 this came at me via the scion project.  it was thought provoking.  this guy is clearly ahead of me in terms of technical skill.  i think i picked up a lot of things, so i'm grateful he took the time to write this out so clearly.



An interesting quote:
Only make a decision when you have at least three offers in hand.

what is finite state automata?

this sounds good to me:

Building things will reliably add to your skill points in each of the other attributes above.
 sometimes this blog feels like a scrapbook, but here I am:
 Am I going to be productive with this company? Will they have some sort of iterative development process or is it the same chaos that most companies that happen to need programmers find themselves in?

So far this article has helped me get a few priorities right. I don't want to work with social media, i.e. twitter or facebook.  I'd like to limit my choices to a specific geographic area, so that I don't have to buy a car.


 Do a quick exercise: in your notebook write a list of the questions you think interviewers might ask you. What would you ask if you were hiring you and were given your CV?
