    The interview process can be very intimidating. There seems to be so much material to study and it may be difficult even knowing where to start.

    In this video, we will go over 10 different things you should know before going in to your first Python interview.

    Here are a few links I mentioned in the video:

    10. Discord disappointed. There are a bunch of characters of different sorts. There are not only characters sitting in the discord itself, there are also the persons serving the discord itself (that is, this is the technical support of the discord itself and everyone connected with it). This discord is praised from all sides. This is partly true, but there is a downside to this discord. Which few people talk about. Being in this discord can be fraught for some. Better think twice. Is it worth going to this discord? And what do you need from this discord?

      Pros:
      1) can get caught in places, but not always a normal team for communication on different topics;
      2) passing raids in games that cannot be passed without communication, even if you try;
      3) designed for cooperative games;

      Minuses:
      1) in the discord there is no "confidentiality" from the word at all .;
      2) different types of characters can be caught in the discord (criminals, hackers, rich characters, humorists and characters who don't care about everything and the technical support of the discord itself), as well as young people who are not quite adequate .;
      3) the attendants of the discord itself who follow the discord itself do not follow their own rules from the word at all. (Technical support and everyone who is associated with the discord).
      4) in discord, only "selected" characters can scold someone, swear at someone, and so on. Otherwise, they will mix the whole discord with shit in the literal sense of the word.
      5) communication with a friend on the discord is disclosed by the hackers themselves and the discord service personnel. The secrecy of correspondence is not respected at all.
      6) if you start swearing with someone, then his defenders who have nothing to do with swearing will crawl out, and the persecution will start from their side, and after that absolutely the entire discord is connected.
      7) hackers and "knocked down on their heads" (they can and will pretend to be) comedians begin to look for people via the Internet to annoy them at home. Seeing a discord blows their heads completely.
      8) in discord, not only children, but also adults (pretending to be fools) take part in this.

      SO FOLLOW WHAT YOU SAY AND TO WHOM YOU SPEAK.

      PS: at the moment, there is no need to be present in the discord. There is a certain society that has its own laws and rules at the moment. They will mix anyone with shit. either you (the group united) with shit will mix or do not knowing who at its discretion).

      P.S: this is a kind of group that found its own cozy little world in discord and choose new ones and evaluate them, then they draw conclusions, and then the consequences.
      "Cozy little world"

      Here we are talking about the Russian language discord.

    18. For people who is preparing for interviews to get a job into IT companies follow these tips:
      1. Brush up your programming skills use platforms like hackersearth for practicing problems.

      2. Topics like data structures and algorithms, DBMS, computer networking, OS, software engineering etc should be at your finger tips. You have to be really good in those subjects specially in DSA.

      3. Go through interview questions and give mock interviews.

    23. I have been programming Python for like 25 years now on a regular basis and I still don't know how print formatting works. I guess I would fail an entry level Python interview. šŸ™‚

      Thank god I can architect and develop entire embedded systems on my own (using C, C++, Python, Javascript, VHDL, Verilog, printed circuit board design tools, analog circuit simulation tools and mechanical CAD software, not to mention that I taught myself the use CNC machines now) and so I don't have to do freaking interviews any longer. Just shows you that experience can't actually be tested with language syntax questions. What you really want to do in an interview is to task the applicant with something that he or she has not seen, yet, and see how he or she reacts. That is what really happened at all my interviews. With regards to computer languages I told them that I suck at remembering language syntax and that what I will write on the board will probably cause a syntax error, so they should treat it more like pseudocode. And even with that true statement I always got hired on Engineer IV positions. This was right out of school, mind you, I never had to do supervised engineer I-III work in my entire life.
