Did you said that? Your last rant first comment literally said so, and it’s a good advice tbh
@CodeMonkeyG -
@devTea I always try to be honest. In the first time ever job I had, my boss interviewing me asked:
"do you know how to do x thing?
it's ok if you don't but I need to know it so I don't ask you to believing you know"
And I've always have that in mind.
Also @CodeMonkeyG put a nice example on how things could go terribly wrong if you lie about it. -
@devTea And I have the phone interview tomorrow. That's what I'm gonna tell them.
Stackoverflow.
For those of you who are having interviews ... remember this

[Update on previous rant at the bottom]
So I had the technical test last friday. I did not try to implement any automated test as it is not my forte.
I had three hours to showcase my knowledge of data structures and OOP so I did that.
The test was somewhat long actually, so I left out one part that I did not have time to implement: validation of input files.
Today I got feedback, everything went well, they liked my code and I only got two negatives: Error handling and automated tests xD
Now I'm going to the second phase: phone interviews and they are gonna asks the whys of my implementation.
I'll have to explain why I did not implement automated tests and the girl on the phone told me "they didn't like it much that you had no tests because tests are very important for us".
I guess I'll have to come clean and say that I'm not very strong on that but willing to learn, so I didn't want to risk it doing something I'm not really good at.
I hope it ends up well.
