The Incomplete Study Guide for RoR Interviews Outside Malaysia

This gist serves as a reminder for myself or for anyone who has found this on what to prepare. At this point, I have failed approximately 5 interviews (and counting) in Singapore, China, and Hong Kong. On the bright side, doing interviews allowed me to find out the gaps I have in my programming knowledge.

Take note:

  1. Just because there are questions I notice being asked by companies in certain territories, does not mean all companies in that territory will ask those, nor does it mean no companies outside the territories stated won't ask them.
  2. The number of companies I have interviewed with is considerably small. This study guide covers very little ground of what can actually be asked.
  3. Every failed interview gets you closer to better offers. So don't give up, keep going, you are bound to make it.

My emacs cheat sheet

In penance for cracking stupid jokes on Twitter, here's my Emacs cheat sheet. Emacs has a steep learning curve, so I've tried to order them by importance so you could learn them in stages.

One overall rule of thumb: pay attention to the minibuffer (the line at the bottom of the editor). It will often guide you through a process, and also gives you hints about what state you're in, such as the middle of a multi-chord sequence.

The other rule of thumb: when in doubt, C-g it out.

Basics (mandatory)

You simply can't get by without having these at your fingertips.
