It would be more accurate to call them /fa/ people. If they only care about the basic functionality, they wouldn't give a shit about the brand.

Jesus Christ, I'm having flashbacks.

In my first job out of college, I was working on a C# document storage system. A commonly used property for documents were "attributes" -- key-value pairs.

The lead designer, with 10 years of experience, had defined it like this:

class Document { 
 /* ... */
    public Attribute[] Attributes;
}

Every time he wanted to get an attribute? Write a for loop.

Every time he wanted to set an attribute? Write a for loop that looks up, then do OP's pic if the value was not found.

TWO HUNDRED AND NINETY TIMES.

290 re-implementations of vector store and insertion. I know because I replaced them all with a fucking method call that just stuffed that shit into a Dictionary.

Now, whenever robots or anyone else asks for job hunting tips, my #1 is always

>don't accept a job with anyone who doesn't verify your programming skills
>if they don't check you, they didn't check any of your coworkers either

This is why big companies do these annoying whiteboard interviews.

It's so fucking frustrating how at least half of the people in this field have no idea what they are doing. This is how you end up with O(n!) algorithms for trivial tasks.

How do you add a new element to a fixed array then? Isnt the only way to do it is to remake it?

It's like that pretty much everywhere. Basically every company is held together with duct tape and chewing gum. Nobody optimizes past the point of "good enough". Why would they?

And by "every company", I mean EVERY SINGLE COMPANY. Not just IT shit. I mean pretty much every commercial organization there is. It's even worse in government organizations where there is no profit motive to become more efficient.

Funny thing is, the world keeps turning. I work in kitchen. Food safety is a meme. Though that is more a testament to the effectiveness of the human immune system.

Exactly. An array is the wrong data structure to use here. You probably want to use a list instead.
