Negative, Ghostrider
In an effort to not be held accountable for anything I say or do, I try not to mention the name of the company I work for anymore, but most of you readers out there know what it is. Here is some advice: if you ever want to work for my company as a software developer, know what a linked list is. In fact, even if you're not interviewing for this company, or even as a software developer at all, you should know what a damn linked list is. School children should know how a linked list works. I think we should teach beginner programming age the age of 7, and stop treating is as if it is some magic wizardry that is the province of stereotypically nerdy math types. I propose an alternative stereotype: that of the hotshot fighter pilot from the movie top gun. People should think of programmers in the same way.
