Mostly-joking-but-I-would-absolutely-make-good-on-it Offer: I will ask you one obnoxious* question at a time, with no deadlines, until you are a self-taught software engineer.
The first question is: What is the sum of the numbers from 1 to 1024. Please use Python, not the Gauss/two-triangles-make-a-rectangle mathematical method.
* - “obnoxious” means it's a leading question: it's simple to state, but you might have to learn a bunch of crap to even really fully understand the question.
Sample far-future questions:
- Does it seem magical that you can turn an NFA into a DFA?
- How does a shell pass stdout from one process to the stdin of the next?
- Why is the Frame Pointer technically unnecessary, but useful?
- Why do people complain about Go's nil pointers? What's wrong with them?
