A few weeks ago I spoke to a senior developer (he calls himself a hacker and insists that the senior developer title is a misnomer, but I digress) about whether or not I should bother applying for a position in the company he works for. I admitted to him that I do not feel confident in my skill and in fact rank myself well below where I should have been at that time. He replied “Well, first of all, congratulations, you are a developer.”
That got me thinking. If this is a common feeling among devs, what can we do about it? This is my solution. I am going to go through every stupid interview question, skills assessment and code kata I can find and publish my solution here. The site will probably change radically in the future and the bog or may not survive, but this is a start at least. I hope that it will help any reader that finds this as much as I hope that it will help me.
