[00:09:07] <m0shbear> did they wrap it in cringe to dissaude those who weren't passionate in applying?
[00:16:40] <vishwin> jesus christ
[00:17:17] <vishwin> if I had other interviews/offers I'd nope the fuck out almost immediately
[00:17:57] <clinth> lmao
[00:18:15] <clinth> idk it's kinda fun
[00:18:22] <clinth> it's been a while since i've played with cpython bytecode lmao
[00:42:35] <m0shbear> vishwin: ikr
[01:39:52] <clinth> omg
[01:39:57] <clinth> is this a fucking joke
[01:40:09] <clinth> " Congratulations! You solved Phase 1 of the problem."
[01:44:36] <clinth> phase 2: "The goal of this challenge is to code a small program that handles the parsing and verification of UDP packets, to demonstrate an a small example of overall design architecture and code aesthetic."
[01:50:22] <clinth> i don't know why i'm doing this

[14:41:06] <m0shbear> masochism and/or boredom
[14:41:12] <m0shbear> clearly
[14:42:27] <clinth> well it's like, kind of interesting? ??
[14:43:27] <m0shbear> the use of the word "aesthetic" inside a coding interview makes me roll my eyes a bit
[14:43:57] <m0shbear> also, 1) what verification and 2) udp is datagrams not packets
[14:44:10] <m0shbear> do they want like tcp lite over udp or wat
[14:45:31] <clinth> i think datagram and packet are reasonably interchangeable, particularly in this case where it's obvious what they mean
[14:45:54] <clinth> there's like a whole long readme detailing what they want
[14:46:16] <clinth> it's like checksum and digital signature verification
[14:46:19] <clinth> nothing like super complicated
[14:46:32] <clinth> i just haven't ever done network stuff in python, and i also haven't done concurrent stuff in python
[14:47:21] <clinth> i think i'm supposed to use like, twisted? is that what people do?
