Here’s an idea. What about using a computer, causes that’s what you are going to be doing.

I’m just bitching about having to code a binary search using a white board at Google when I had previously written a search engine and indexed two country’s by a man who wears a cowboy hat to work. (To be fair it was a nice hat)

I didn’t get the job, they claimed not good enough at coding, wtf! Well f*k them then.

I’m totally on board with what you’re saying.

Unfortunately a lot of tech is far too biased towards a small set of learnable skills that are sometimes hard to demonstrate in an interview setting, and the result is that a lot of good people don’t get offers for jobs that they could totally crush in.

Now sure but this was Microsoft software in the 90s, no one wanted to restart their interview for a third time because the f*king thing bluescreened again.
