Nice. Thanks for the Starling-Software classification.

I think Im looking for something that leads the path between n (level 2) and log n (level 3). Especially so in the Computer Science section.

I would also be interested in a path to mastery over Mobile - IOS / Android and Web Technologies Front End(CSS/HTML/Javascript - UI/ UX) and Back end.

For Example Back end could be Language/Framework agnostic.

One way my brain is looking at it is - each language could be mapped to a musical instrument - and then you have various grades of progression in that language/framework. However the analogy breaks down quickly.

In Backend you have 2 interfaces - HTTP protocol interfacing and the data interfacing with the data store (Database). On one hand you have people who create the framework and on the other we have people who use the framework to create products.

Ask HN: Software study to Mastery classified along the lines of Karate/Or Music

If you had to prepare a study path for Software along the lines of Martial arts (like Karate) with different Belts - like white belt, green belt progression to a black belt OR progression in music like progression according to grades - 1st grade, 2nd grade to performance degree? How would you classify the various areas under of study under software?

I Just read this article and am in a similar situation right now described. I tried to do a startup and it didn't work out. I'm in the job market now. In India it's a lot worse because some of my friends tell me, you've been out of a job so long it might be difficult to get a good package.

Ask HN: Help with understanding a solution to a problem on Segment Trees

In preparation for interviews, I participated in the Accel Hack2 on Hacker Rank. I was able to solve problem number 5 (Devu's Diet), my solution was not within the time limit.I looked at other people's solutions and learned about Segment trees.The problem amounts to this:You are going to build an array of numbers of size N (they could be +ve or -ve). You need to find all possible intervals L, R...

SEEKING WORK/ Mumbai, India (UTC+5:30)/ Remote, Onsite if you can arrange it.

Web Application developer. Currently working on Ruby on Rails. I have 2 Ruby on Rails projects under my belt - full stack applications targeted at the Market Research industry. Prior to that I've worked on Node/Express/Postgresql. I also have extensive experience in C++ and have done one large project in Android /native Java.

My current rate is USD 25 per hour, but if you have a month's work I can do it for USD 3000/- per month, fixed cost - I am a bit desperate for some cash over the next 2-3 months and yes that is why my rate is a bit low.

Re:Ask HN: Poor Codility performance, am I a bad programmer? on Monday February 01, 2016 @08:15AM (#11011531)
There are somethings you may have not known about the codility test - they have an FAQ: https://codility.com/candidate-faq/. You can lookup stuff on the web. You can also use an IDE.

For the codility test you need preparation. The problems are not easy and the problem setters underestimate how long it takes to solve a problem. Unless you're regularly participating in coding contests etc, you will not make it. The way we program day to day, and in a timed test env are different. You should not feel bad.
