- haecceity 7y agoI think python is the most efficient language to use in interviews tbh. Functional languages might be better depending on the problem but you don't want people thinking you're a witch or something.
- throwlaplace 7y agothere was a Google retrospective posted a long long time ago where someone cited data that people that use python do better. it's the reason I learned python.
- lazyant 7y agoheh, reminded me of https://aphyr.com/posts/341-hexing-the-technical-interview https://aphyr.com/posts/341-hexing-the-technical-interview
- ayberk 7y agoI learned enough Python for the interview questions specifically for this. Based on my (obviously anecdotal) experience, candidates I interview spend considerably less time on actual coding when using Python. That being said, Scala makes design questions much easier thanks to its type system.
- Koshkin 7y agoWouldn’t work for a C++ position...
- patrickthebold 7y agoI'd like to learn APL solely for interviews.
- johnwh 7y agoPython (or really any dynamic programming language) makes interviews a lot easier, however I have started asking more in-depth questions to make sure they actually understand Python and have done a little bit of research into the language and implementation. I have noticed some colleges have been teaching more to the interview, so their grads can crush some problems in Python but fail when you ask them to implement a helper they were using. I am not talking about implementing a heap either, I am talking about merging objects.
- wy35 7y agoI switched from Java to Python for coding interviews and it's well-worth it. I can solve problems a lot quicker due to the simpler syntax.
- stuxnet79 7y agoAgreed 100%. Switching from Java to Python because I grew tired of Java's verbosity.
- eerrt 7y agoalthough most problem solutions seem pretty clear and understandable even for ppl not familiar with Golang
