Had a light breakfast at Bojangles’ for chicken biscuits and orange juice, followded a quick trip to the Overlook Building for an all day interview with Microsoft. It’s good to know that Microsoft no longer does riddles or puzzles, so the interview was largely technical and managerial in nature. Still, it seems that the questions were fairly rudimentary and don’t really illustrate the difficulties in true software development. In hindsight, one could probably go straight to Chris Sells’ website and simply memorize the questions from his list. Perhaps that’s what I should have done in the first place.

North Carolina is a beautiful area and I had a lot of great friends there. And regardless of what happens, I’m confident of my abilities as a programmer. I know it’s just a matter of time before I do something great.
