A few weeks ago I was put forward for a job requiring: extensive low level embedded experience in writing code in resourced limited environments, specifically ARM Cortex chipsets (tick, tick, tick) The project turned out to be a "bionic" watch - no not one that turn into a human being, one that monitors your biometrics. I though "great that sound really me", and then they revealed we are a hardcode C++ shop (because some of their other products are advantaged by that) and you're going to have to do an online test. My C++ experience is limited to the embedded environment and I'm up to speed on creating OO class structures but not much else. I don't do standard library stiff (just like I don't carry the C library manual around in my head), streams or containers. These things don't seem to have much place low level embedded code, but if you believe different fell free to explain why And guess what, the test was 80% on these types on things and predictably, I failed. Looks like they are going to get the employee (well freelancer) that they deserve tim
