Talk:About Testing
I intend to bring justice to workers and high quality and value to consumers.
I do my best but I cannot guarantee a friction free ascent to this situation.
A particulary pathetic case 3 Meadow 4704
Going forward, I accept responsitility if I bump my head on this shit. Yesterday it happened twice. The first was the lesser case, what looked like a decent gig. I had forewarned by sending a link to the article but they didnt' get it. That was my fault because I should have made clearer when they told me there was a technical interview. I guess I'm still laboring under the apprehension that I can have tech interviews such as I've had as recently as about 18 months ago that are the good kind I describe in the article. This was the sad one because I think I could have worked well with this entity in spite of their literal 20 questions.
The other was the one linked in the article. The mistake there was that after the person setup the phone I/V I went to thier site and saw that they were the Slavers From Hell and expressed my misgiving in a maybe 200 word note that should have been a single sentence cancelling the I/V. The individual apparently took it personally and called me with the apparent intent of "showing me up". In particular he asked "what is a thread"? Having worked with threading since it was introduced in late 80s in OS/2 I responded broad and deep. The statement that a thread is essentially a process must have totally flipped this person. Of course a process is usually associated with the OS job construct but the truth is that every variant of a sequence of instructions executed by a computer (or anything else fro that matter) is in fact a process. Threads, fibers, tasks, jobs are all in essence processes. I gave other details based on an experience beyond this persons comprehension including reference to the B machines but the real mistake here was even speaking to this individual after having sent the note.
As if another ground were needed this last showed how at this point in my career my thinking is so completely maladapted for this sort of thing, I don't even think in a manner that can allow me typically succeed in these small minded little torts.
About References
A related problem is the checking of references. If a free worker providing you services at reduced cost but serving many clients like yourself were to have her references checked constantly this would not work as the references would quickly become unresponsive.
This will be eliminated for any workers in the WIK-CSO Public Job Shop you may contract with as we vouch for them as qualified and indeed, if you contract under our framework, guaranteed workers. Later we may offer actual development insurance.
