      Lol, had one interview where I first talked with the CTO where everything went super well; we discussed my previous work, coding patterns and principles related to my field etc.
      Then in round 2 I had to talk with a "senior engineer", who was super rude from the beginning, and kept asking me loosely worded trick questions about things which definitely weren't relevant to the actual development. I asked for him to clarify his questions (English wasn't his first language), and also wondered its relevance to the position, which was enough for him to eventually end the interview.
      Ended up not landing the job, but instead went to another place which did super well, so I'm super happy to have dodged that bullet 😄. I later met a friend who also interviewed for that place, and his experience was exactly the same.

    The job I recently accepted involved a 30 minute introductory chat to get a feel for each other and 1 hour technical interview to understand your communication, thought process and coding style. The most I had to do was make a console application call a class that was based of an interface to print the count of its items. They made the process feel wonderful and whilst I enjoyed the coding challenges for other interviews (offline challenge with online discussion) these guys focused more on the person than the task which was so refreshing.

    Man, this is so on point. Experienced this frustration today.
    The thing about being asked questions that has nothing to do with the job: It's happened every single time in my 20 years as a developer.

    The best part is when the interviewier dont work in tech, so when he/she asks you to describe your previous experiences and projects, most of the time you talk about tech stuff and the interviewier is like "Wait what is CRUD?"

    this is really accurate! I've done at least 8 leetcode easy problems now! that was hard! I'm not even sure they want me to ever build a UI or iOS application anymore the deeper I get into this stuff. and I bought that book too! things are way different from 10 years ago, in that, all companies have adopted the FANG interviews I can't get past. and the companies are making apps even more useless than 5 years ago! none of the companies I interviewed with 5 years ago are even around!

    I actually had to use tree traversal and basic recursion on my internship, like 2 months in on a 16 month internship. Implemented a basic python module to deserialize/serialize XML (element trees) and pick out the Tag, Value, and Attributes. It was to deal with SOAP. Why you might ask? Cause they refused to deal with 3rd party imports in their code, so they made me (the intern) reinvent the wheel.

    • @someonerandom9939

      I'm worried about when I actually take an interview.
      I made a javascript interpreter in C++ without any 3rd party libraries and even did some operating system development as hobby projects.
      Except I royally suck at math and don't have every common algorithm embedded in my brain.
      I'm not even sure I'd even be considered for an interview at all given I never took any computer science courses or anything.

      Wait until you see the opposite side of that where all your expected to do is use other people code and glue it together, and your forced to even use broken packages either because your not allowed to reinvent the wheel or because package dependencies, working on your own roll is more often better than trying to hack around someone else.
      You will look back at this moment fondly.
      In your case is a bit strange cos SOAP is old XML Parsers are abundant. It can depend on the language as well.
      Edit: This isn't to advocate against library use but just wait until you see the other side.

    • @kentwong3818
      @kentwong3818 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@farrongoth6712 there’s a few XML parsers but not in python and it had to be in python and all I had was standard lib. No imports.
      It also had to connect to our internal request serializer/deserializer. SOAP messages could be turned into well formed request objects within our system, and then fed to the final backend. So there was some custom work. Also wrote a WSDL generator that read off types on functions in python and generated a WSDL programmatically. That was fun and good use of functional programming skills I learned in University.
      Yeah I already look back at my intern days fondly and think “damn the days of 8 hours of uninterrupted development without a single fucking meeting - heaven” haha
