What interviews are ? Logic or Design or Syntax ?

  • Logic depends on ideas and experience 
  • Design depends on performance/scalability and upfront thinking
  • Syntax need google search and fixes

A good interview, I loved the aspects they covered. 


This is far better than pointed questions like
  • Sort algorithm time for best / worst case - I hardly remember 
  • Puzzles on Physics - I don't practice every day
  • Write a sort function - Common google it
We live in a system where we don't know how to hire or spot people who are team players.
  • Faking or cracking interviews and building a team of solo performers vs building a team with a lot of team players will have different impacts in long term.
  • The reward is for teamwork, and openness is not for stars.
  • Motivated team vs Team which delivers something working due to work pressure
Keep Thinking!!!
