@r0bnet @RandomSort That is my best suggestion off the top of my head. Feel free to add more, if there is something I am overlooking 😊
@r0bnet @RandomSort * 'five lines' should be 'five meaningful lines' ie. excluding the return check ifs. * 'if only at the start' becomes 'logical decisions only at the start' * Add a rule about not accessing mutable fields of a non-receiver argument -- to enforce encapsulation.
If you're looking for a new job, don't simply tell your interviewer: - "I've been a software engineer for 3 years" You should measure your own experience in qualitative terms. Not number of years. Try these ideas instead:
