I am at the last year of my scholar curriculum (Computer Science Engineering, a pretty broad title but yes, there is no specialization at my university). I now wish to make my profile available online for job recruiting purposes. I am aspiring for an international career (I am French, but I've studied quite a lot abroad and currently li...
I've been doing Rails for some time now, and, as the title suggests, I'm pretty bored with it. In the mean time, I've been very much attracted to mathematics, particularly logic, but also geometry, abstract algebra, combinatorics and graph theory, differential equations.. I enjoy pretty much all of it.. My main goal is to read lots of ...

Is there such a thing as a 30 hour/week programming job? Well, I know there is, because I'm currently working at one. But it's a dead-end job, and I'm looking to move on. I had a recruiter almost hang up on me today when I told her that I'm looking for part-time work. Until I told her that, she was very interested in my resume; I do, ...

When interviewing entry level developers, I have used the FizzBuzz question as a type of acid test. Generally, I ask for a solution in pseudo-code or any language of their choice. If someone can't answer this question -- or get reasonably close, the interview generally ends shortly thereafter and we don't progress to more interesting c...
I’ve never worked in a trading environment before and I was curious to see that few of the trading houses seem to use C#, but most of them do heavily rely on C++. Why is it? Is it because C++ is better performance wise? Is it because of legacy code bases? Is it because of cross-platform issues? What about dynamic languages (Ruby, P...
To follow up my previous question, I’ve delve a bit more into the “financial derivative trading” world in trying to understand what is means for programmers and how it is like working as a programmer in that environment. I’ve seen positions like “Front Office” programmer positions and “Back Office” programmer positions, I wonder what the...
Sorry if the question already has been discussed, I failed to find the discussion. And after all, this is friday. Feel free to close:). If the employer asks you to show your (any) previous production code without or before or instead of detailed interview with predefined tasks - how should we reply? of course it's not about confidential...
I heard that after some age (40-45?!?) it's difficult to get a job unless you are already reached the level of Team Leader or Project Manager. Are you worried about that issue? ...
I've always thought that whether I loved or hated a role that I would be objective enough to help out a fellow dev if he ever wanted general info about a workplace/role - say he was in for an interview/walkthru. As a job seeker, is (1) ok to ask the interviewer/company for permission to contact devs to ask them questions or (2) in a wal...
I'm creating a PowerShell script that I'm going to execute using Start-Job. The job should continuously run in the background until I tell it to stop using Stop-Job. It should execute a SQL command on a timer with a specified duration and output the results to the jobs pipeline so I can retrieve them using Receive-Job. Right now the j...
This Prolog question is introduced as an interview question. Can you get a job thanks to your Prolog skills? Is it used in the industry? (ok, ok, a job can be out of the industry too). ...
When job hunting for a developer position, what looks better? Working on a renovation project/creating a new application OR supporting legacy applications. With 3 years of experience I've spent my time supporting legacy J2EE applications. I have also added new features and overhauled a small part of the application. But I have never bee...
I've got the upcoming month of December off and with graduation and a job search looming, I've decided to work on some projects to show off my skills to potential employers. For every week in December I'm aiming to churn out a prototype, and so I'm looking for some tips for getting an idea up and running in a short time frame. I know t...

Our server web app will handle jobs that are requested by REST API requests. Ideally if the server dies during a job (ie: plug pulled), the job should resume or restart at startup. A very convenient way to process these jobs is in a separate thread using some of the concurrent utility classes in Java 5. The only issue is, given a fa...
