I work as a software engineer and I have been working on (very) complicated task for the past month. I was very stressed out because my code was failing in some very weird cases and only on Windows 8. After 1 week of debugging and some conference calls with some Microsoft engineers, it was finally discovered that they have a bug in their API. This is a new achievement for me: to find bugs in the Windows API.   | ||

I think that in order to get into the company you need to make at least a few bugs in your code at the interview. Although they have made some really good programs like Visual Studio, so I'm not really hating them | ||

Was fucking infuriating trying to figure it out, I eventually found a workaround which involved moving a ShowWindow() before a section of code as opposed to after and this seemed to resolve the issue. Exactly what the reason was I have no idea, we were essentially launching a dialogue then loading a DLL which then painted on top of it, with FirePro cards it wouldn't paint over the top, although interestingly, not setting the window as the dialogues parent would cause it paint, just obviously not be attached to the window. I think the worst part of it all was that 'our' software in this case was written by a 'senior' software engineer who didn't last his 6 month probation period. I graduated a year ago and I write infinitely better, more readable software than this 'senior' engineer. | ||
