I start a new gig Monday… my best interviews were with two big tech companies… one hired me and the other said I lacked “code fluency”, which I had never heard of in those words.

Some of these places expect your first draft of a weird abstract problem to be perfectly readable in a live coding environment. Without any pressure my first draft is feeling out the problem and then trimming everything up.

In any case I landed at my preferred company, which is very exciting.
