  ○ Abstraction is removing some details to simplify reality modeling and perception
  ○ Programming is in huge part an art of abstraction
  ○ "Leaky abstraction" Spolsky's post. 
 - Perception
  ○ This table has four legs
  ○ This table is beautiful
  ○ The first statement the signifier and signified are adjacent while the second statement there is a space for interpretation
  ○ Some signifiers has wide meanings or narrow, and different people perceive it differently
  ○ Role of agile development in addressing perception issues
 - Deduction

EP35 - AskDeveloper Podcast - Logic

الحلقة التاسعة و الثلاثون من راديو اسأل مطور, في هذه الحلقة نستضيف المهندس محمد تيسير المنضم حديثاً لفريق عمل جوجل في مدينة زيورخ في سويسرا, ليشارك معنا خبراته و نصائحه لمن يريدون التقدم في الوظائف المماثلة.

Why do you want to join Google?
Technical career path
Innovative
Move to another country
You will not lose anything if you fail. There is no such thing as blacklist

What they are looking for in a candidate?
Smart & get things done
Goes the extra mile (open-source, side projects, …)
Measurable achievements
College degree is not required
Persistence: I failed the 1st interview but passed the 2nd

How to pass the interview?
Relax. It’s not the end of the world
Always keep the communication line open. In other words, always think out loud. Don’t stand there silently while you are thinking
Validate your assumptions with test cases & ask about edge cases to make sure you understand everything. The problem might be simpler than you think
Apply for all suitable positions, not just one or two (follow @googlejobs on twitter)
Prepare well (Project Euler, Top Coder, ACM, …)
“Algorithm Design Manual” is a good book, but it’s heavy for some people. Go with it when you feel you have a good understanding of basic data structures
See more references below

Things to consider
It takes time to pass the interviews, get visa & start working
Google helps with relocation: papers, travel tickets, temp accommodation, but this doesn’t mean the visa is guaranteed. 
The imposter syndrome: I’m not good enough

AskDeveloper Podcast - 48 - Thoughts on Interviews

حوار شيق مع المهندس احمد عصام و رحلته في مجال التكنولوجيا و البرمجيات من البداية في القاهرة مرورا بمراحل مختلفة في اوروبا و الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية و حتى المرحلة الحالية من العمل في شركة Apple

	• What defines ethical? -- * 
	• Failing and realizing why it happened.
	• Respect your own capabilities with consideration of (is it hard enough?)
	• What do you do at work?
	• You as a brand, what message do you want to deliver? "What you do is perceived as who you are"
	• Dare to disrupt your life, When nothing is happening for while it is important to look on what have you done for the next step, what you are doing and the next months is basically the present (it is planned and determined and probably the outcome of it is known)
	• The need to explore other areas to empower the current moment.
	• Are you ready to answer all questions in a meeting? 
	• Do you intentionally mislead people with subtle language/words?
	• Starting a startup and how much I wasn't ready for it, how bad I treated people and how much effort did I have to work on my attitude?
	• Are you really as good/bad as you think you are?
	• Let's discuss "There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self." - Ernest Hemingway
	• Opinions and Facts, the critical need to distinguish both from each others.
	• Where/Who/What you are doesn't define you, Anything is subject to change and none should be defining your future.
	• Assuming (good intention)/(Positive attitude) when listening to people changes how people perceive you as ally or adversary
	• Why good language matters at work.
	• What is the difference between pushing the limits and (breaking the law / respecting others / etc)
	• Your values and what drives you.
	• Let's see why greedy will fall short to help you achieve your targets.
	• The multi modes for writing code, communicating and looking back.
	• What do you do while your work is compiling.
	• The balance of listening to others and going your own way. 
	• Picking up answers from Stack overflow. -- * 
When it works, do you know why it works? -- *
