I have 2 solutions to this problem. The first one is 1D DP where I memorize every single mistakes that my manager has ever made and store them in a hashmap while use date as a key to lookup. The second one is greedy algorithm where I fight my manager inch by inch and win every single arguments we have to destroy him. They both have a time complexity of O(n), but the greedy one uses constant memory only, so it’s better. Now let’s run some test cases. You (interviewer) can be my manager and we can start a conflict here.
This is too relatable. I remember over-preparing for every interview where I literally went through my entire degree again to make interview notes. I had a one scrawling word document of every algorithm + time complexities and data structure I ever learned, and then another one for every possible behavioural question and examples of conflicts and how I resolved them. Then they asked me where I see myself in 10 years and how much I want to be paid. Too good, love you Joma 😂
How much i wanted to be paid always surprised me. Growing up i learned that the "proper" answer is to say "lo que usted diga" ("as you will say") when somebody ask you this. Is sad, i got this idea that when I get a job somebody is making me a favor and that's why I should not impose. I don't know if is culture, family education or because almost all my friends and i started working in a bad economy, with not good jobs, so we get used to to peanuts
@@jessicav931 Nah, always go HAM af. Then if they don't like it, they'll try to talk you down. Know your rate though, just always push it 10 - 20k higher, good things shake out of that.
Yeah, kinda did this. I had an interview for a junior dev op position in one of the biggest tech company of my country. I prepared my interview for an entire week, learning their tech stack and how to build efficient CI/CD, artifacts management and monitoring on it. At the interview, that was just like 15min, they just asked me very very basic question about the philosophy of dev ops. I was underwhelmed. I got the job and learned later that they didn't expected much technical knowledge from a junior position, only a bit of theory and human behaviour. Yup.
I did the same with a fuck ton of leetcode problems Instead they told me to make a CSS switch, which i didnt even have to actually use my own css for, aswell as a basic random int min-max range im not sure what I was expecting from an internship position...
Reading comments like yours, I think I've been making this whole process look VERY hard in my mind. I'm going to quickly finish my project without doing extreme shit and start applying right away.
I actually had a similar experience to this. Software engineer manager: What went poorly in your last team, and what will you do on your current team to ensure that things happen differently? Me: Oh f***, I didn't study for this!
@@Kai-iq2ps yup ordering hashbrown for my team on daily basis cause them to be unmotivated & obese for which I decided to cook my own hashbrown using a air fryer

@@xxxhomiexxx5 "on my last team one of the issues were communication and accountability. Especially during current times communication is key to have full understandment of the issue for all parties involved. So learning by mistakes i do take extra care by communicating and CCing all necessary info to keep the documentation flow intact. Sometimes I even just type FYI things to some coworkers so they can stay in the loop and know what's going on. Also as for accountability I don't mind to do one extra step if it assures me the project is on time and we'll executed. So I don't mind correcting small mistakes of others and also I'm not offended if my mistakes are pointed out for correction. It provides a clear understanding of mutual help which is necessary in any team environment." ..... So did I get the job?
The polar opposite of this (which is also too common) is companies wondering why they can’t find any good employees after 8 rounds interviews, 5 take home programming tests, and not being transparent with the salary of the position
Literally true story. Aced the AWS online test only to get grilled by 40mins of LPs (recruiter said it would 1-2 questions at the end). I feel like they knew I memorised 1000 leetcode questions.
the leadership principales questions may be soooo tricky sometimes. you may be the best technicaly talking but when it comes to those questions, well if you are not well prepared..... you ll get grilled

Took me about 5 failed interviews to finally get an offer out of college. Studying a bunch of data structures and algorithms majority of the time will mess you up more than help. Learn from past interviews, study projects you have done and just relate problems/solutions to stuff you know. If the recruiter values your projects and passion on things you did, as well as fits the work their doing, you will probably get the most enjoyment out of that work environment anyways.
@@MrCmon113 It gives you more experience and better knowledge of new topics. Using you Git account as your portfolio is not commonly used but I have seen people use it and it always helped them. The person hiring you can see how you code.
You’ll be asked for stuff you’ll actually never use. In my 25 year career I never had to choose between linked list vs array list or optimise garbage collection. But I had to do much other very difficult, non-coding stuff. Actually, as a senior, I spent 95% of time in “what to code” than “how to code”
Beside the jokes, most of the Software engineers does a lot of researches and read data structure learn pattern just for the interrview. When it comes then applying those rules in the job "StackOvverFlow"" comes to game.
Take it from someone only half way through cs50; Stack overflow does nothing to help you if you don't understand the concepts. Th nomenclature is already getting clearer after a few weeks, but when I was writing my first lines of code, that website was as good as gibberish.. 'The stack? Whats that? Wait, what the fuck is a recursion? Malloc? That sounds like the BBEG of my last dungeons and dragons campaign!!'
@@absaintdane7 I always thought that these types of questions are a bit of an IQ test, rather than your suitability for the role... but in a way IQ is/can be important
LMAOOOO this reminds me of an interview I did when I was super Junior, and they asked a behavioural question like "how would you handle a non'-technical dispute with a co-worker" and I didn't actually process that it wasn't technical so I said well if my code is more optimal than his/hers then the correct choice would be to go with my program since everything i write is in constant time.
This was so good. Companies don’t really want geniuses but normal people who can work in and build a team to bring in results than going all Han Solo in a project.
@@NunOnABike You are contradicting yourself. Also, companies don't magically know if you are a genius (and if you say grades, remember, many exams also require people skills, which is what you are now assuming geniuses don't poses). Besides, people who are exceptionally good at a certain skill, but lack people skills, often tend to have a hard time convincing others of their skill, without a proper chance to really proof themselves. I've seen/heard of this so many times; someone is exceptionally good at a certain skill, yet the first impression people get from this person is often slightly sloppy/mediocre. The truth is a lot more nuanced and often depends on the position. Sure when working with a team, you want people to be able to work together. But when the deadline is tight and the bugs are plenty, you'll also really love someone who can bring in the solutions - even if that person can be a bit challenging at times. Also, in my experience, most companies don't test candidates' technical capabilities in the first interview.
I would use git diff to help me see the differences that causes the conflict with the manager branch, then manually go through each of them and resolve them
So I interview engineers and am normally on the front line doing behavioural interviews before we let people through to technical tests. And yesterday I asked this question and the silly twit started talking about how scrum processes can avoid all conflicts. This video is more accurate than you might think.
On the flip side, the one time I interviewed for a C++ developer, I couldn't answer any of the questions. I had been 99% self-taught, so therefore despite having programmed for ~15 years including multi-threading and networking code, I had absolutely no idea what "static" meant beyond needing it occasionally to make the compiler happy.
@@rhyffraffi think He’s just more surprised, as am I. I’ve only been doing OOP for less than a year and know how what static does and why it’s needed. Until I seen this post I assumed it was quite important to know as you might need static methods or fields when building stuff ?
Lmao, I did this back when I started my first tech job as a software engineer after schooling. I study languages relevant for the jobs on my country and lots of other preparation while waiting for the hiring process which took like 4 months. It was a big company so I was expecting the tech to be really deep work. I was surprised it was Oracle Cloud. Lmao
Remember being rejected because of the way i was answering the questions. I got overprepared and literally knew all the answers. Answers were too structured and interviewer suspected that I don't understand what I was saying. No, I did. (It was an internship interview, so questions were easy and I can accept why they were sus about me)
Hey man, I am Spanish native speaker, and your Spanish sounds so well, you just need to keep like this and some or later you will reach a good level of it.
I've never done any of this. Never seriously prepared for interviews in my life. If i don't know the answer, i say honestly - i don't know. If i'm not concerned about my answer, i say something anyway, but i make a mark that i'm not sure that this is correct information. Eventually some of the interviewers correct me - this is the great opportunity to learn all the answers for all the typical questions. Leave most important interviews for the last - you should do them with most confidence and experience of being interviewed you could have. You should be calm and confident - this is more important than learning the answers. I've been an interviewer lots of times as well and I should warn you guys it is quite obvious when you know how to answer but you actually had never learned THE ANSWER. So please don't cheat, be honest - it's way more important. Remember that interview scene from "The Pursuit of Happyness" ("I'm the type of person...") - that was really strong move.
I'm kind of surprised how useful they are. I just used one the other day at my senior's recommendation, so I could have some enum keys to a struct of the start and end of some ranges. It turned out looking pretty clean and elegant looking. I was originally going to use an array.
There are a lot pf great programmers with a masters and years of experience. There are a lot of shitty programmers with a masters and years of experience. Their resumes look similar.
Right? Imagine going through the same process over and over again and having useless HR talks about "your most exciting projects", "what do you like to do in your free time" like we are on a fucking tinder date.
@@stevezelaznik5872 There aren't a lot of either? Most people moving into a masters program of any sort have good grades. Good grades in most cases implies at least some aptitude. While I'm sure you could pay your way through a coursework masters and university, it's another thing to have work experience...You generally won't be kept around if you aren't pulling weight. Possible but very unlikely. Having solid work experience (2+ years at each place worked) wouldn't raise a red flag for me at all.
@@stingrae789 There’s going to be someone willing to complete 100s of leetcode questions just to get that job you think you’re too good to do the interview task for.
I would use a Hashmap combines with a special deep cashing algorithm. Load Balancing would be implemented via Data Sharding and a new developed Data science techinque called multithreading.
Actually all those student prep for interview. We all can relate to joma content. Love it @Joma ❤️ and bcuz of the content I feel more energetic to learn hashmaps 😂😂
How programmers actually prepare: 1. They spam CVs. 2. Pray to all the GODs. 3. Drink a lot. 4. Cry a lot. 5. Actually get a job because even if you suck, the demand for programmers, coders, data analysts and scientists is still through the roof for the next decades.
If you suck it's ok. The problem is when the person is actually good and still can't get a job because they are a bunch of boomers and don't know what to look for in a programmer.
I never prepare for an interview, I think a good state of mind benefits me much more considering I have a good memory. (I do pass most of them, I think the calm I’m radiating is much more important than being able to solve 100% of the problem)
I never did any preparation for job interview(s) and still got the job(s). As someone who also interviews candidates, I never ask trick questions. It's not required. Everything I need is gathered from way of thinking.
Hashmap was exactly how my last interview failed. He asked me to figure out 2 missing numbers from a 1 to 100 unsorted array, in O(n). I told him a O(n.logn) answer but he insisted on optimizing. Despite doing 30-50 hashmap questions I couldn't recollect it at the time. Hashmap is your SO till you get placed, you cultured programmers.
@@bruvhellnah Use 3 for loops. In the first loop, initialise the map from 1 to 100, every value for the key to be 0. In the second loop, iterate through the vector of 1 to 100, and if the value is encountered, set the map[value] as 1. This way, the missing two numbers will have a key in the map but their value won't be 1. Now go through the map and return the two numbers
@@waavhal In any language that supports bit operations you can use just one loop. Take two 64-bit or one 128-bit unsigned integer and no need for complex data structure like dictionary or hashmap. Initialize the integers to 0xFFFFFFFF (or with leading zeros if it’s to flag 65 to 100). In the only loop, go through the 98 numbers and for each of them do a left shift followed by a XOR operation to unset the bit to indicate the decimal number’s presence (this is essentially hashing). After the loop, pick out the nonzero integer(s) and apply a bit trick that computes the ceiling of log2, e.g. the one based on de Bruijn sequence, to recover the missing numbers.

IBM interviewer: "so i see you worked at Nissan before. My brother had one and hated it. Are the transmissions really that bad? I was looking at one this week"
Most competent software devs can learn and adapt to new technologies (i.e. google what something is and how it works). But adapting to a team of people is harder and that's what most interviews want to figure out.
I finally got a Software Engineering job last month. I was surprised that I flubbed a lot of the language-specific technical questions and still got the job. They said they "liked the way I think."
Because you can just go on stack overflow to figure out how to implement your ideas. But you have the ideas - that's the part that not everyone can do. If you know programming well, then you can pick up any language easily enough.. They evidently think you know programming well ;)

Then they asked me where I see myself in 10 years and how much I want to be paid. Too good, love you Joma 😂
Why not store as runnable code?
share ur hardwork with us and earn eternal goodwill
How much i wanted to be paid always surprised me. Growing up i learned that the "proper" answer is to say "lo que usted diga" ("as you will say") when somebody ask you this. Is sad, i got this idea that when I get a job somebody is making me a favor and that's why I should not impose. I don't know if is culture, family education or because almost all my friends and i started working in a bad economy, with not good jobs, so we get used to to peanuts

Yeah, kinda did this.
I had an interview for a junior dev op position in one of the biggest tech company of my country.
I prepared my interview for an entire week, learning their tech stack and how to build efficient CI/CD, artifacts management and monitoring on it.
At the interview, that was just like 15min, they just asked me very very basic question about the philosophy of dev ops. I was underwhelmed.
I got the job and learned later that they didn't expected much technical knowledge from a junior position, only a bit of theory and human behaviour.
Yup.
I did the same with a fuck ton of leetcode problems
Instead they told me to make a CSS switch, which i didnt even have to actually use my own css for, aswell as a basic random int min-max range
im not sure what I was expecting from an internship position...
Reading comments like yours, I think I've been making this whole process look VERY hard in my mind. I'm going to quickly finish my project without doing extreme shit and start applying right away.
nice! do they hire remotely? since I live in the Netherlands
no way lmao i've done actual hard programs for 1-3 hours and not even get hired for junior/entry level positions

It's best to confuse them permanently to avoid conflict, just like HashMap.

It actually makes sense. If I had a conflict with a manager, I'd just put him in a bucket. Just like hash map does.
I can confuse them with my stupidity thank you!!

I actually had a similar experience to this.

Ummmmm ok....
What if nothing went poorly? What do you even say?
@@xxxhomiexxx5 "on my last team one of the issues were communication and accountability. Especially during current times communication is key to have full understandment of the issue for all parties involved. So learning by mistakes i do take extra care by communicating and CCing all necessary info to keep the documentation flow intact. Sometimes I even just type FYI things to some coworkers so they can stay in the loop and know what's going on. Also as for accountability I don't mind to do one extra step if it assures me the project is on time and we'll executed. So I don't mind correcting small mistakes of others and also I'm not offended if my mistakes are pointed out for correction. It provides a clear understanding of mutual help which is necessary in any team environment."

The polar opposite of this (which is also too common) is companies wondering why they can’t find any good employees after 8 rounds interviews, 5 take home programming tests, and not being transparent with the salary of the position

Took me about 5 failed interviews to finally get an offer out of college. Studying a bunch of data structures and algorithms majority of the time will mess you up more than help. Learn from past interviews, study projects you have done and just relate problems/solutions to stuff you know. If the recruiter values your projects and passion on things you did, as well as fits the work their doing, you will probably get the most enjoyment out of that work environment anyways.
doesn't always work, tbh most interviews ask all these questions, you just have to pass the HR first

Though punch line is funny the Pirate King did hashmap interview video First.
You’ll be asked for stuff you’ll actually never use. In my 25 year career I never had to choose between linked list vs array list or optimise garbage collection. But I had to do much other very difficult, non-coding stuff. Actually, as a senior, I spent 95% of time in “what to code” than “how to code”
I optimize the GC sometimes, but It was rare, and because It ran on premises.
Beside the jokes, most of the Software engineers does a lot of researches and read data structure learn pattern just for the interrview. When it comes then applying those rules in the job "StackOvverFlow"" comes to game.
did you have a stroke?
Take it from someone only half way through cs50; Stack overflow does nothing to help you if you don't understand the concepts. Th nomenclature is already getting clearer after a few weeks, but when I was writing my first lines of code, that website was as good as gibberish.. 'The stack? Whats that?

The best interview prep video I've seen TBH
This was so good. Companies don’t really want geniuses but normal people who can work in and build a team to bring in results than going all Han Solo in a project.
To add to this. If you’re actually a genius, companies would actually contact you for a position rather than the other way around! Great vid!
@@NunOnABike You are contradicting yourself. Also, companies don't magically know if you are a genius (and if you say grades, remember, many exams also require people skills, which is what you are now assuming geniuses don't poses).
Besides, people who are exceptionally good at a certain skill, but lack people skills, often tend to have a hard time convincing others of their skill, without a proper chance to really proof themselves. I've seen/heard of this so many times; someone is exceptionally good at a certain skill, yet the first impression people get from this person is often slightly sloppy/mediocre.
The truth is a lot more nuanced and often depends on the position. Sure when working with a team, you want people to be able to work together. But when the deadline is tight and the bugs are plenty, you'll also really love someone who can bring in the solutions - even if that person can be a bit challenging at times.
Also, in my experience, most companies don't test candidates' technical capabilities in the first interview.
I would use git diff to help me see the differences that causes the conflict with the manager branch, then manually go through each of them and resolve them

So I interview engineers and am normally on the front line doing behavioural interviews before we let people through to technical tests. And yesterday I asked this question and the silly twit started talking about how scrum processes can avoid all conflicts.
This video is more accurate than you might think.
Scrum is the solution to all problems. And if you somehow find a problem that isn't solved by Scrum, change your problem.
Stop harassing people with stupid questions.
On the flip side, the one time I interviewed for a C++ developer, I couldn't answer any of the questions. I had been 99% self-taught, so therefore despite having programmed for ~15 years including multi-threading and networking code, I had absolutely no idea what "static" meant beyond needing it occasionally to make the compiler happy.
I'm pretty sure that's EXACTLY what static means
Imagine not knowing what "static" means after ~15 years programming in an object oriented language.
Imagine replying to a 6 month old comment to give someone crap about a minor knowledge gap.
@@rhyffraffi think He’s just more surprised, as am I. I’ve only been doing OOP for less than a year and know how what static does and why it’s needed.
Until I seen this post I assumed it was quite important to know as you might need static methods or fields when building stuff ?
Thats actually diabolical, 😭 im self taught too but a physics major who studies cs on the side as well
Lmao, I did this back when I started my first tech job as a software engineer after schooling. I study languages relevant for the jobs on my country and lots of other preparation while waiting for the hiring process which took like 4 months. It was a big company so I was expecting the tech to be really deep work. I was surprised it was Oracle Cloud. Lmao

Remember being rejected because of the way i was answering the questions. I got overprepared and literally knew all the answers. Answers were too structured and interviewer suspected that I don't understand what I was saying. No, I did. (It was an internship interview, so questions were easy and I can accept why they were sus about me)
Hey man, I am Spanish native speaker, and your Spanish sounds so well, you just need to keep like this and some or later you will reach a good level of it.
The answer to every question is "stack overflow"
I've never done any of this. Never seriously prepared for interviews in my life. If i don't know the answer, i say honestly - i don't know. If i'm not concerned about my answer, i say something anyway, but i make a mark that i'm not sure that this is correct information. Eventually some of the interviewers correct me - this is the great opportunity to learn all the answers for all the typical questions.
Leave most important interviews for the last - you should do them with most confidence and experience of being interviewed you could have. You should be calm and confident - this is more important than learning the answers.
I've been an interviewer lots of times as well and I should warn you guys it is quite obvious when you know how to answer but you actually had never learned THE ANSWER. So please don't cheat, be honest - it's way more important. Remember that interview scene from "The Pursuit of Happyness" ("I'm the type of person...") - that was really strong move.
Thank you for your advice! It is very helpful and pertinent🤝

Hashmap was exactly how my last interview failed. He asked me to figure out 2 missing numbers from a 1 to 100 unsorted array, in O(n). I told him a O(n.logn) answer but he insisted on optimizing. Despite doing 30-50 hashmap questions I couldn't recollect it at the time.
Hashmap is your SO till you get placed, you cultured programmers.
Hey can you give a general idea on how to solve this question using a hashmap?
@@bruvhellnah Use 3 for loops. In the first loop, initialise the map from 1 to 100, every value for the key to be 0. In the second loop, iterate through the vector of 1 to 100, and if the value is encountered, set the map[value] as 1. This way, the missing two numbers will have a key in the map but their value won't be 1. Now go through the map and return the two numbers
@@waavhal In any language that supports bit operations you can use just one loop. Take two 64-bit or one 128-bit unsigned integer and no need for complex data structure like dictionary or hashmap. Initialize the integers to 0xFFFFFFFF (or with leading zeros if it’s to flag 65 to 100). In the only loop, go through the 98 numbers and for each of them do a left shift followed by a XOR operation to unset the bit to indicate the decimal number’s presence (this is essentially hashing). After the loop, pick out the nonzero integer(s) and apply a bit trick that computes the ceiling of log2, e.g. the one based on de Bruijn sequence, to recover the missing numbers.
you can use cyclic sort also
2 loops over a bitmask. Set to 1 if element exists. Then iterate through it again and the positions of the 2 zeros are your answer.
Exactly all of what I did 😂
