[text] ralfmaximus Years ago back when worked in cubicle land we were hiring junior software developers. They didnt have to have a ton of experience just a willingness to learn and some demonstration of their software skills. Like show me a program you wrote any language or a web site you designed. Anything. And there was this one guy talked with who seemed super sharp but had virtually zero experience writing software. When it came time to do the showntell part of the interview he whips out his laptop brings up a website and spins it around to show me what he made. A website of tiny ceramic frogs. Not for sale. Just… all these ceramic frogs organized into categories. Frogs on bicycles frogs with hats frogs sitting on lily pads. It was a virtual museum of ceramic frogs in web form. I scrolled through his online collection of frogs slightly baffled. This is your website asked finally. Yep You coded this yourself popped into viewsource mode and poked around some incredibly wellformatted wellcommented html. nodded slowly. This guy was meticulous. e So… whered all the frogs come from I made those too he says beaming. And while Im processing this he rummages in his bag and pulls out a little ceramic frog working at a computer terminal. He places it on the table before us next to the laptop. And THIS one he says I made for you As a thank you for the interview. It was adorable. hired him on the spot. mean why not Worst case hed wash out in 90 days and wed hire somebody else. He turned out to be one of the best developers on our team. And yes his cubicle was loaded with ceramic frogs. u magicalawesomekid This is absolutely adorable and want this man developing all of my websites. 16939 notes 0 2 e
