For one-off scripts I just call these with node path/to/my_script.js. For the recurring tasks though I add a script prop

‘‘Believe me, Socrates. You have only to look at humankind’s love of honour and you will be surprised at your absurdity regarding the matters I have just mentioned, unless you think about it and reflect how strongly people are affected by the desire to become famous and to lay up immortal glory for all time. For the sake of this they are prepared to run risks even more than for their children — spend their money, endure any kind of suffering, even die in the cause. [..] I think that it is for the sake of immortal fame and this kind of glorious reputation that everyone strives to the utmost, and the better they are the more they strive: for they desire what is immortal” — Discourse of Diotima to Socrates, Symposium, Plato

Whether you can or can’t solve the problem, there are some things you should do in the interview to increase your chances, including asking clarifying questions, explaining your thought process as you go along, and identifying pain points to your interviewer. If you can’t solve the problem you’ve been given, instead of just giving up, do these three things so you can demonstrate your problem-solving ability and possibly elicit some sort of hint from the interviewer.

This topic was vastly popularised by Daniel Carnegie’s 1936 bestseller How to Win Friends and Influence People. Nevertheless, an array of philosophers before him elaborated on the topic. A few examples:

At the beginning of the interview cycle for most software positions, there is a series of technical programming challenges, some on the phone with a person and some auto-graded. Those auto-graded assessments are really a mental test between you and the problem: get as many test cases to pass in the shortest amount of time possible.

What about Jewish, Chinese, Indian and Lebanese people? Jewish and Lebanese communities came to Jamaica (for example) as part of the merchant trading class, and Indian and Chinese people came as indentured labourers after the end of enslavement in 1838 in order to fill the new labour market made in hindsight of abolition. And so, these immigrant settlers had interracial relationships with the locals and created Multiracial communities.

Many people assume the same about the phone interview: get as many to pass as you can to impress the person on the other end of the line. This route is definitely not the most optimal. You should replace to impress with and work with. You should treat the phone interview as a partnership or a pair-programming task where you are the primary programmer.

Point 1: The books we read, the movies we watch, the family we are born in, the people we frequent, the experiences we make in life, (the accounts we follow on Instagram..sadly..) etc., all serve to build our personality, our dreams, an image of our self looking forward (i.e. our self-projection). Once I have elaborated my self-projection I will act in order to match it with reality, performing actions in order to achieve that image, convinced that is where happiness resides.

What society has to realise, especially those we consider Black communities, is that the term Black has changed over time and it is not a monolith. Blackness is fluid and it brings me to ask questions about the Multiracial identity of the Caribbean, an identity that goes back to enslavement. That in the Caribbean, there is an African presence; moreover, there is a European presence in the descendants of slaveowners, but also white Creoles that have lived on those islands for generations. It brings me to question the American presence as well. By American I don’t mean white Americans, I mean Indigenous American, including the descendants of Tainos and Arawaks (for example).

In “adopting” Multiracial individuals into the Black historical narratives without thinking about other parts of their racial, cultural and / or ethnic identities, we are missing opportunities to have vital discussions about not only Multiracial identity but also class and Whiteness. It pushes me back into thinking about Mister Street, Great-Grandma Jessica and then my Grandma Val, passing on this Multiracial identity to me. We are missing vital conversations with white people that may have Black ancestors but also the number of Black people with white ancestors, pertinently Black Europeans, or as Johny Pitts says in his book “Afropean.” The number of Afropeans with white ancestry. When we begin to unpick this a bit more, we can see that many of us have really interesting genealogies and that nobody can “look Mixed-Race” (stereotypically lighter skin and looser hair). Additionally, light-skinned Black people can be stereotyped as Multiracial tells me the common denominator is that Mixed-Race people must have lighter skin.” Yet, plenty who have monoracially Black parents also have lighter skin tones.

For the first twenty years of my life, I grew up believing myself to be monoracially Black. I was happy walking through society as a Black British person — comfortable in that. Finding out about my ancestors made my ideas of Black Britishness more complex. Not that I didn’t know I probably had white ancestors but because it was within living memories of my family, in addition to members of my family being Multiracial and I had no clue! Moreover, on my mom’s side of the family, simply looking at my grandmother, it is evident there is probably Indo-Caribbean heritage as well. Has this changed how I think of myself in relation to my race and my cultural identity?

Because after all, this is all we seek in life: a feeling of importance. Our ego doesn’t just want to build a self-projection; it wants to build a self-projection in which the main character of the story (i.e. you!) is admired, desired, and fawned upon — ideally, on a mass scale. We don’t envision ourselves as being disliked or ignored. We want to be relevant to people, we want to feel important.

By treating this like a partnership rather than a polygraph, you can establish a sort of rapport with your interviewer and improve your chances of success. Success in a technical interview is not predicated on solving every problem they can throw at you.

“Why is it, for instance, that an orator who knows that he has written a good speech, and has fixed it in his memory, and is bringing an attractive voice to the task, still feels anxious nonetheless? Because he is not content merely to practice his art. What else does he want, then? To receive praise from his audience” — Discourse 2.16, Discourses, Epictetus

Scott became a billionaire. And not just any billionaire. With a net worth of $60 billion, she is one of the richest women in the world after her divorce from Jeff Bezos, possessed of Amazon’s tax-avoiding lucre. Scott is committed to giving it all away and has already committed $1.7 billion to nonprofits. With a gift of that size, writes Stephanie Clifford, “Scott could’ve built a cancer center, had a museum wing named after her, made a college rededicate itself in her name.” Instead, she gave away 116 grants at once, no strings attached.

As it turns out, our ego doesn’t only want to build a self-projection of who we want to become. Given our optimistic nature, we are driven to build a positive self-projection, one in which we are depicted as a successful individual, someone who has achieved her passions, dreams, career goals, relationship goals etc.
