Back to the roots

After some years of agile consulting and a brief intermezzo at a big financial institution I am again about to join a small and innovative product company with a leading product in their space.

Product development, trading software, highly concurrent systems ... that should be fun! And did I mention I am free to choose whatever hardware and operating system I want to use? Good bye Windows.

Hani's interview

Hani is hiring. Imagine the job interview:
  • Please introduce yourself - do you prefer Rod Johnson's moobjuice or Gavin Fleury's turd lubricant with your javalicious breakfast?
  • Why are you interested in Formicary's baby jesus buttplugs anyway?
  • What other 5 things don't I want to know about you?
  • Could you explain why OSWorkflow is the only true kind of genitalia waggling since FogBugz's ASP to PHP compiler?
  • What are the advantages and disadvantages of Ruby orifice rubbing compared to poopoowibblewomwoming in Java?
  • How is the OpenSore interface implemented in Axis2? How would you refactor it away using NetBeans and a time travel machine?
  • How fast would fowlbots die without regular dependency injections by The Bearded One?
  • Ok, enough of your spastic, retarded gibberish! I've got the right job for you. It's with the Maven team at Apache...
I hope someone who gets to the interview stage is so kind to share his/her interview experience with us!
