Phone number *

+90 (###) ###-#### format. We may use this number to contact you to arrange interviews.

Which of the following better describes your English language skills? *

I can talk about my travels and experiences, in vivid detail, for hours on end. I have little trust in people who don't use an Oxford comma.

I watch Netflix without subtitles, but I sometimes struggle with phone calls.

I can understand Stackoverflow without Google Translate, but I would be faster and feel more comfortable if I asked my questions in my native language.

Sultanahmet, go... (düz neydi lan?) he, düz, after, right. Google Translate by default.

Which of the following better describes your Turkish language skills? *

Native: I can explain Turkish proverbs and teach Turkish swear words to a newbie foreigner.

Fluent: I can watch news, talk about anything I can think of.

Professional: I can understand discussions in areas I'm experienced in if people speak slowly, I may need explanation about proverbs or inside jokes.

Newbie: I had a Turkish girlfriend/boyfriend, spent some time on Duolingo, but I learn quickly. Can I still apply?

What's your preferred operating system? *

Windows

Linux

MacOS

Where's GNU/Linux in this list?

I'll install it myself

How do you feel about doing web frontend development using Javascript with a relatively modern framework? *

I ❤️ Vue/React/Angular/*

I did a bit of it before, I can do it

Whatever, code is code

CSS is a b**** and HTML is ugly, otherwise it's fine

I'll copy/paste from existing code and cobble up something minimally acceptable

Can we use Vaadin or PrimeFaces or something with Java?

I'd rather have someone else do it

How do you feel about unit tests? *

Not enough, unit tests for all code, integration and end-to-end tests are required too. Full coverage is the most important thing.

All code must always have unit tests, period.

Unit and integration tests for complicated parts of code as a defensive future-proofing mechanism is enough.

Working product is more important than unit tests.

Unit tests are a waste of time and money.

What's that?

Please mark your experience or knowledge about subjects below. *

Never heard of it

Read about it

Used it once

Used it a month ago

Can write an article about it

Can build it from scratch

I'm the original author

Bash/shell scripting

Git

IntelliJ Idea

Maven

Spring/Spring-Boot

CI/CD

Node.js

What was the most challenging thing you worked on? Try to explain why it was a challenge and how the process made you feel. *

As a general reminder, please be careful not to share confidential information about your current or previous employers.

Are you fully aware that you are applying to a senior software engineer position? *

Yes, I know what senior means.

I have "x" years of experience, can I still apply?

No, I heard it pays more, so I figured if I can...

No, someone sent me a link to this survey. Do not contact me, I'm just having some fun.

No, I'm only interested in results of this survey, can you send me the outcome when you're done?

Are you fully aware that the position you are applying to is not a manager's position? *

Yes, I understand that I am expected to build reliable, working, maintainable, quality code solving real business problems.

Not even a junior? I thought maybe seniors could manage small teams of juniors, no?

No, I'm looking to move to a more managerial role.

What is your take on agile methodologies (Scrum, Kanban, etc.) in software engineering? *

It's the right way, every rule should be followed, by the book.

It's useful if you don't know what you're doing and hope you will find out along the way.

I don't like waking up early everyday just for the daily stand up after coding all night. I think it's all theatrics.

What's that?

Are you happy to do a hands-on coding interview as a next step? *

Sure, anytime.

I'm scared, will it hurt?

No.

How do you feel about working remotely? *

I need an office, a commute, and the concept of a work day.

Hybrid is good, it's nice to visit an office and see co-workers once or twice a week.

Remote is cool, but I need structure in terms of work hours, or my work-life balance becomes a mess.

Remote is cool, but I need to be able to define my working hours freely, by myself. So maybe I can work for 2 days straight, do large amounts of work and wander around.

Remote is cool, I'll do my best to align with working hours of the rest of the team.

Do you have any questions or comments for us?

Two SQL developers walk into a bar, and they walk straight out. There were no tables they could join.
