As devs, I have never developed any novel algorithms. Most times, I have implemented them, by reading at docs, rfcs. Somehow it feels like this has affected my articulation. Of late I find it quite difficult to interract with people in interviews. Thinking out loud.
I have never thought out loud, its disgusting to make people see the clumsyness. People expect me, to solve something I am supposed to know from before hand, and somehow pretend that I am self discovering this.
In a way this process of interviewing has become like some entrance exam to sit.
But honestly I am not that guy. So this month, I have taken upon something
- I should have done back in college, when I had the time,
- I should have done 3 months before instead of building stupid apps
- I should have done when I had a stable job
I want to take things in from a first principle basis. The goal is not even to solve the problem, it more about how do I get to ask the right questions.
I don’t think people understand what comes with having a hint of AuDD.
But as Sinestro says: ‘Fear is a great motivator’
