| As verbatim as I can remember our interaction: Me: "I'm going to just put some user input checks here, no guarantees they'll actually input X or O, yea?" Interviewer: "Oh, don't worry about that, assume for now that you'll get X on X's turn, O on O's turn." Later: Me: "Normally I'd extrapolate this to a function, so let me just - " Interviewer: "For now, just focus on getting the program to response to the next user input." Me: "Ok... well the fastest way to do that right now is just copy paste this code down here." Interviewer: "That's fine." But, it turns out, it was not fine. I felt I was bamboozled. |
When she says "don't worry about it" or "that's fine", you can't take her word for it.
You need to be psychic and understand her needs without her saying anything.
