Just had a phone interview and a programming Q&A via collabedit with a software development engineer from Amazon this morning. I haven't really been dealing with algorithms and data structures for quite some time as programming nowadays rely a lot more of libraries and googling for best solutions. So I am not pinning much hope on my performance impressing any interviewer. Should I be worried as I may not secure a job if my current carefree freelancing lifestyle doesn't work out?
Anyway, out of curiosity, I decided to check what I had bought on Amazon since I signed up. To my surprise, I managed to buy one and just one item each year for the past seven years, since 2007. Not all the things were bought for myself. Some were on behalf of my brother and one I suspect for a friend but I have no recollection of that item.
For myself, three books and a solid state drive. I love to own physical books and would like to have collect more but due to the lack of space, I am turning to getting ebooks and thinking of whether to buy a Kindle or at least a tablet suitable for reading. Still thinking because I still don't quite like the feeling of not holding a physical book in my hands.
