If they did, we'd just do multiple choice questions, grade the candidates and just run it through a grading tool.
But interviews aren't quizzes or tests, nor should they be. It's about how you approach technical challenges and a conversation about the mindset you'll be bringing to the team and if you can deal with our mindset.
It is arbitrary. For the candidate and for the interviewers.

I tend to give some softball technical questions where either you know it or you dont know your ass from your elbow.
I care more about how you get things done than raw technical ability. If you are able to show the ability to grow as an engineer/developer (which is also hard to gauge in a 45 minute interview) as well as having concepts that everyone should know based on their years of experience, then you got my recommendation.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 233 |

I pointed out their compressed output was ambiguous and while I could compress the input, theres no way to decompress without something like a map attached to the end, but that would mean my output doesnt match what they expected...
I got so caught up in why it couldnt be done this way that I didnt actually implement the function, and failed the interview. Good riddance I guess.

No one really knows what all else they changed because the "unnecessary" code they "cleaned up" was DELETING ALL THE COMMENTS AND DOCUMENTATION. See, the parent company had other tech products under them, but as I said, this was the first one in active development. Their policy was to just have a product and do the bare minimum to support it, reduce costs as much as possible.

Gotta love spending a morning doing a job that takes a company almost a year to sort out only to have them spend more time to tell me to stop than it took me to get the app out.<|eor|><|sor|>A large client of mine had a team of "developers" who worked over a year on a in house web analytics solutions. I put together a solution in less than an hour and showed it to the client. Due to politics they are still developing the other solution even though its less capable and doesn't work with any existing protocols that their "developers" apparently didn't know existed.<|eor|><|sor|>Ooh I have a good one. Join a company and they have been developing an inhouse content management system. This is an all encompassing one so required the developer to completely change their workflow to facilitate, as well as the only guy working on it had to answer constant questions.
I come in and spend a morning tweaking a basic WordPress install that gets us all the features he had in. The platform he made was about 2 years in so far, with at least another year to go. They had the devs testing out the system optionally. Most devs used it once then instantly went to my instal. Working was quicker, there was documentation all over the place for devs AND clients and it made a lot more sense.
they kept pushing back saying we will be using the new system when it's done. Spoke to management and while they agreed it was easier, quicker and better to do it the other way but we were 2 years into development so it will go ahead. Cut forward a year and it releases, gets used for like 5 clients all who complain, get confused etc etc. Ended up going back to my feature-full WordPress mod, only because the customers complained.
The amount of money they tipped into that sinking ship is embarrassing.<|eor|><|sor|>> 2 years into development
So? This is sunk cost fallacy, literally econ 101. You poured resources into a hole, and then learned you didn't have to. Don't pour more resources down the same hole, just archive the project as is and deploy the working version. If the working version ever stops, then you can pick work back up on the archived project.
Also, if it's taking 3 years to develop something one guy did in a single morning, you're not throwing enough resources at the problem. Put a team on that shit.<|eor|><|eols|><|endoftext|> | 158 |
