So what is the interviewer supposed to do to find out if you can code?
I’ll take someone who gives an idiomatic answer over someone who reinvents the wheel anyday. Who is likely to be more productive on the job?
- xyzzyz 9y agoDepends if the job can be done using one-liners from existing libraries.
- kd5bjo 9y agoThat depends on whether or not the job entails inventing new kinds of wheel.
- gaius 9y agoLet's be honest: most commercial programming jobs don't. And the person with a thorough working knowledge of the standard libraries is in a better position to do it anyway.
