Anyone else with opinions regarding flashcard memorization?
I'm not currently on the job hunt, but whenever I peer out into the "job huntas" world, I see some emphasis on really routine stuff which I have not found to be valuable in real life.
For instance here (http://www.flashcardexchange.com/cards/technical-interview-questions-c-424257) they have these interview questions that people are supposed to memorize. The very first question is "Is it possible to inline assembly or IL in C# code?" My first reaction to this was WTF are you talking about. Then I looked up the words in that sentence, and I was like "oh can you use assembly language in C#... Assembly language like what I did when I was 16." It never crossed my mind to use assembly language in c#, to me it is a silly question and that's why it never crossed my mind. But I did not even know what they were talking about, it was so silly.
Also I do not work in a large environment, and therefore I'm not sure what the use of all the access modifier is, and so on. I think that each environment probably has particular rules which I would pick up in a couple days.
I code about 9 hours a day, some for work some for myself. I spend 0 hours memorizing questions that are of no use to my projects. Someone else might spend 1 hour a day coding, the rest memorizing questions, and get a better job, yet perform worse. Does nobody else see this as a problem?????
Ok, so anyway I'm not looking for a job, just sayin'.
