[Obreh Winfrey]

There's a bunch of them in the earlier pages of the thread. What happened to make folks stop?

You done got complacent, breh breh. When's the last time you changed companies?

Never, still with my original company. I'm not a fan of job hopping.

I always hear that job hopping is how you get that max contract

It may be, but I like a bit of stability. Stability might be the wrong word, but I like time to absorb my surroundings and situation. Did a ton of moving as a kid and you get tired of constant change. So being at the same company for an extended period of time let's me get my bearings. That doesn't mean I'm not looking though, I have interviews lined up. I just don't like practicing

Man, I hate how dead this thread is. Let's breathe some life back into this place with some coding challenges, brehs.

I'm going to come up with a Javascript solution for this, but feel free to solve it using the language of your choice.

Subtract the sum
NOTE! This kata can be more difficult than regular 8-kyu katas (lets say 7 or 6 kyu)

Complete the function which get an input number n such that n >= 10 and n < 10000, then:

Sum all the digits of n.
Subtract the sum from n, and it is your new n.
If the new n is in the list below return the associated fruit, otherwise return back to task 1.
Example
n = 325
sum = 3+2+5 = 10
n = 325-10 = 315 (not in the list)
sum = 3+1+5 = 9
n = 315-9 = 306 (not in the list)
sum = 3+0+6 = 9
n =306-9 = 297 (not in the list)
.
.
.
...until you find the first n in the list below.

There is no preloaded code to help you. This is not about coding skills; think before you code

I'll post my Javascript solution between today and tomorrow.

I'm gonna blow your mind with my job hopping. I won't hesitate to take my talents to South Beach


Only thing I'm asking from any potential company is the ability to work remote.

 

[Serious]

Found a Lenovo Thinkpad T420 being sold for $220 around my way.....but the seller aint responding to my message.

Hope he aint sell it yet. Thats a steal for one with an i7 processor and an NVIDIA graphics card

420

Breh you pouring jelly on yourself if you're not using at least a 490.

soldered on processors and the newstyle keyboards

I'd rather upgrade this 420 to a i7 quad core (ive already flashed a custom bios for that reason) and slap on a 1080p IPS panel for cheap.

at least with my t420 I can turn the cd-drive into another terabyte of free space using one the harddrive laying around....or use that wireless lan port for an mSATA ssd.

If i cant tinker with it, you can keep it

We going back into the caveman era around here @Obreh Winfrey


And as far more space. I got a couple portable 2tb flash drives. @DEAD7



But, no cap though, I feel you on being able to tweak and customize shyt.

how long you been with them? i always hear is good to jump companies like every 2 years for salary.

 

[Mindfield333]

I hope brehs ain’t experienced this

 

[Obreh Winfrey]

Over 3 years. I've been able to get close to market after starting way under. I haven't been chasing salary though. If this next interview pans out then I should be getting a solid jump.
