In recent years I have applied to numerous development jobs driven by my will to develop my career and find better pay. It’s common nowadays for companies to give test assignments supposed to verify the candidate’s coding skills, as well as his/her ability to organize work. There is no test assignment I have failed to fulfil, but there are many times when I failed to explain it properly in a technical interview discussing my solution. I am a self-taught developer and have no formal technical education (excluding the high school where I specialized in microprocessors – a more hardware-oriented field of study). So, when the technical interviewer says “Nice solution, but can you describe the cyclomatic complexity of it?” I am done.
Honestly, I am aware of my skills, strengths and weaknesses. I haven’t gained experience with a lot of modern and trendy technologies that well-paying companies require. What kept me in the game for 15 years is mostly my ability to troubleshoot complex problems and provide simple solutions to them. Additionally, I have excellent communication skills, and I can explain complex technical issues to non-technical stakeholders in a way that is easy to understand. This has proven valuable in many situations, where I have been able to build strong relationships with clients and stakeholders and ensure that everyone is on the same page. That’s why my recent employers trust me to mentor and onboard others, not because of my top-notch up-to-date experience with all the fancy new technologies that popped up recently.
Anyway. This post is a short review of what I’ve done as coding challenges in recent years. I hope it’s a pretty comprehensive code base proving my ability to solve problems with code. Honestly, if I have to write yet another code assignment, I feel better working on something else and fuck development.
A few days ago I got my shiny new StarBook Mk V and installed Manjaro on it for the very first time. I have no prior experience neither with Arch-based distros not rolling releases. Anyway, soon after I installed it I realized that I can’t access my homemade NAS server over Samba. I have a samba network at home with a mix of Linux (Linux Mint, Manjaro) and Windows 10 (don’t judge me) computers. Samba has always worked well to connect to each other. But now, when opening smb://192.168.1.6 in Gnome file manager I get this error: Failed to retrieve share list from server: Invalid argument
After quick duckling I found the solution: everything you need to do is to add these two lines in the global section of /etc/samba/smb.conf file on the server
client min protocol = CORE server min protocol = CORE
and then restart it:
sudo service smbd restart
Voila!
P.S. The solution is based on the original post on the Manjaro forums here.

Snake case to camel case:
function snakeToCamel(string) {
return string.replace(/(_\w)/g, function(m){
return m[1].toUpperCase();
});
}
… and camel case to snake case:
function camelToSnake(string) {
return string.replace(/[\w]([A-Z])/g, function(m) {
return m[0] + "_" + m[1];
}).toLowerCase();
}
I’ve seen such as fancy Bash prompts on various tutorials and Linux examples over the Internet and I’ve always wondered how is achieved. I never really had a enough free time to learn more about it and explore the options. But being jobless for a month gave me opportunity to play with the thinks I like 🙂
My solution is pretty simple: when you navigate to git controlled folder, the bash prompt will show “@ branch” after the directory name. Nothing fancy.
Just open your ~/.bashrc configuration file with your favorite editor and add the following:
get_git_branch () {
git name-rev HEAD 2> /dev/null | sed "s/[a-zA-Z0-9]\+\ \(.*\)/ @ \1/"
}
than put this into your PS1 string:
$(get_git_branch)
so it become something like that
PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\033[01;32m\]\u@\h\[\033[00m\]:\[\033[01;34m\]\w$(parse_git_branch) \n\$\[\033[00m\] '
Restart your terminal or type bash to start new bash session. Navigate to git controlled folder to test. It should look like this:
Lately, I’ve been working on transitioning XML feeds to JSON format on big video site. We generate these feeds in order to feed external search service with results. It’s similar to sitemap, but it provides more detailed information about the pages.
This task is challenging because of the following problems that need to be resolved:
