I wish, but maybe it’s more fair to say how people think has changed. It’s like for these complex questions, they can break the problem down quickly into smaller functions, but implementing the functions is slow? Sometimes a non-starter? Idk, it’s different. Our old ways of interviewing aren’t working the same
If you're hiring from the town where Kool-Aid is headquartered, don't be surprised if most of the candidates drink a lot of it.
