You shouldn't. If you have a github account with a couple repos that are not forks you're good.
Also, I don't think reading books on interviewing and solving interview problems is a good preparation. If the company doesn't focus on what you have done (like your own projects, which sound great) and instead gives you stupid interview problems on the whiteboard, run away.
- nullundefined 11y agoThanks-- In my experience most companies are the 'stupid' problems, I certainly wish more companies would stop all the bad habits but it's pretty wide spread :(
- dudul 11y agoIt's up to us to do our part and refuse to dance like puppets :) There are plenty of great companies who are trying hard to improve the hiring process and move away from the whiteboard exercises and brain-teasers. I systematically refuse to interview with people who ask me how many tennis balls would be required to fill up the empire state building.
- cjhin 11y agoDitto on the first thought. If anyone is actually digging through your github, they're going to look at much more than just the activity graph, but the (non-forked) repos you have.
