I have worked in IT a long time. I went back to school not long ago to finish my BSCS. I'm now a senior.

I talk to the smarter kids in my senior CS class - none of them know what software version control is. None of them know what git is. The school does not teach what these things are so they do not know it.

Doing coursework is important, but you need to do more than that. If you can't find a part-time job or internship, at least do something like find a project on Github, fixing an issue, sending a pull request and getting your patch included, at least once before you graduate.

People should go into CS because they like to do computer stuff. If computers turn you off so much that you're a CS senior and don't know what software version control is - you wasted your time. I knew what software version control was when I was in high school - and those were the days where you'd find SCCS more often than RCS.

That's how companies die. I know of 3-4 companies who did that, outsourced development to India and just kept management in US, and they went away.

Most famous example is Quark... the once leader in desktop publishing. They got a new CEO, some indian dude, Aulakh Kumar, who laid off all American developers and offshored development to India. Few years later, Adobe and InDesign ate their lunch and Quark is now on death throes.

No one does this shit anymore. Offshoring is pretty much dead when it comes to big companies.

Still sane is probably a more fit descriptor.

I would say Ruby, and would have used interactive Ruby from the start. Not because I can't use Vim easily, but because the task is simple enough to not need it.

This is why programming is nothing more than a hobby of mine.

>>47033299
You misunderstand. Web devs don't give a shit if there are user input bugs. 'The user does what they are supposed to do correctly, or they don't get to use the application correctly' is their train of thought.

I have come to the conclusion they don't give a shit because if they did they would spend years dealing with all possible user input error. User input is literal shit to be rubbed on the alter of your code. You can only deal with so much stupidity before you stop giving a shit and make the user reap what the sow.

I'm sure it could be better, but just saying that it isn't event hat hard.

Also if you import the csv in powershell the field with is an attribute for the object so you could do something like:

Select-Object $CSV -property * | Where-Object {$_.emailattribute -ne $Null}

Write-Object $CSV.emailattribute | Format-Table

Also while powershell is not as powerful as perl or bash scripts, it is pretty good and I would have an easier time faking my way through a programming interview than the stupid CS failure.

>>47033299

The question wasn't to make a program to print out cells containing emails for ANY CSV file. It was just this one. So you could first print anything with an @ sign and then go through and tune it to exclude everything that isn't an email address.

I think this is a super stupid question, though, because it assumes the interviewee will know the format of a CSV file and how to parse email addresses of the top of their head. Almost anyone would use a library or at least have reference material in the real world.

>>47034932

Clarification: you don't need a general program. You need something that works for one specific CSV file. So you can write a quick-and-dirty program that doesn't work in general.

He should have just gone straight to python and imported whatever library it uses for csvs, and used standard delimiter stuff that's common to most language libraries.

They probably decided against him for that mistake if everything else was alrite.

https://docs.python.org/2/library/csv.html

I miss this meme.

>>47034932
Ask to see the CSV file and look at the structure of it.

This is the game they play. Your job is to get as many answers as they will give you, although this is a pretty easy problem: Loop through each line, split on comma, look at each result and print it if it contains @ or even use a basic regex like .+@.+\..+.

Better yet, ask for internet access and look up whatever god awful regex they use for email addresses.

it says in OP's post that they told him the file is there. all he had to do was cat/head/whatever it and see.

questions like this are all about testing you to see how you work and whether you communicate or make assumptions. if you get the right answer at the end, that's a huge bonus as well. but just getting the right answer without the right process is a fail for sure.

Bud, interviews at google/apple/facebook last whole day. You generally meet with 2 or 3 diff teams for a couple hours each or so. You should be worried what questions they don't ask. If you have any weaknesses, one of the teams will find them for sure.

> I'm afraid of looking stupid in front of people
Well, then study some moar.

>>47038044
If you have an interview, the people there are on your side. There will be questions you don't know, and they understand this.

In my experience, I was asked maybe 20 questions. about 10 I had enough experience to find the answer no problem, another 5 I couldn't find the answers to, but kept pushing forward asking questions when I needed, and produced a reasonably intelligent answer. The last 5 I just got stumped on but I didn't give up until they took it away and then I made sure they explained the answers to me.

I got the job, they told me at hiring that i was super inexperienced, but I knew that and now I have a job.

I'm not saying its like this for all companies, but this is a sweet software engineering job and its doing tons for someone who didn't have an internship throughout college.

And Visual Studio?

I'm honestly not that familiar with the csv library in Python and I worry that this would come up. I could just read each line of the csv file and split by commas, but there's usually some special escape shit that goes on in CSVs if you have commas in the cells, so I would need to roll my own fix for those solutions, and I don't even know if they use standard backslash escapes or what, so I'd just be kinda fucked in general.

So thanks for this, OP.
