What are your worst interviews you’ve done? I’m currently going through them myself and want to hear what others are like. Dijkstras algorithm on the whiteboard? Binary Search? My personal favorite “I don’t see anything wrong with your architecture, but I’m not a fan of X language/framework so I have to call that out”

Let me hear them!

(Non programmers too please jump in with your horrid interviews, I’m just very fed up with tech screens)

    “Given a list of strings, print the contents of the list to the screen.”

    print(stringlist)

    or if you want to get fancy:

    print(", ".join(stringlist))

    When do I start? I feel like I nailed it.

      lol. I kid you not, someone did that. Then completely imploded when I pointed out that it’d just print the object reference and not the list contents.

      Can you start next Monday? :p
