• As those that have come to know me over the years will tell you, this is a REALLY sore spot with me especially for people that have alphabet soup after their name.

    I can absolutely guarantee that there is no way to "cram" for a "Jeff Moden" interview. Although I don't ask difficult questions, I can guarantee that only a couple of the questions I ask are actually on one of those God forsaken interview question blogs. Those are used as "warmup" guestions to get the inteviewer to relax because everybody knows the answers. After that, you're required to actually think or show what you've actually done in the past in the form of thoughful dialog.

    I used to be incensed by people that published those damned interview questions and even more incensed by moroffs that used them for anything other than, perhaps, a study guide of what they need to try, practice, and verify. Then, it dawned on me that a good number of those bloody sites had some really stupid and incorrect answers and so decided that I'd not correct the answers nor even acknowledge that some of the answers were wrong. In fact, I've taken to using those incorrectly answered questions as the warmup questions. Lord help the gamers that come to an interview with me and give me one of those incorrect answers. We will find out if they like high velocity pork chops or not.

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
