Indeed. You would think that someone who is smart, capable, and clearly determined early on (as in pre-Google interview) that many potential employers would ask algorithm questions.... Would, you know, study up on some algorithms?
It probably isn't the "right" way for programming interviews, but once you identify the rules of the game, it behooves you to play the game accordingly, no?

- ionforce 11y agoMaybe some people are too proud to play the game. Fundamentally, I agree that it is silly to ask questions that don't have a high degree of relevance to the job in question. But I am conflicted. Why haven't we (as an industry) done better with this? Clearly there must be a reason or friction in asking relevant questions in lieu of the current batch of algorithmic type interviews. What is that reason?
