My co-worker, Abdullahi, encouraged me to write this post. Since I’m on Thanskgiving vacation, I thought why not? Plus, writting this post proves him correct; I’m very productive. I generally don’t think of myself as very productive. I was diagnosed with ADHD. I’ve always tried to take on too many projects, jobs and challenges; failing multiple responsibilities simultaneously. I work 2 jobs, sometimes 3, I am a father of twin girls that are in school plus I make time to work on NatesCode blog posts, videos, exercise and be a son, boyfriend and play DnD.

Here I’ll go over how typical software engineer interviews are run as well as debunking some common myths about software interviews.
