Damn, can I do one just for fun and then let's code review together? :p
I recently had a humiliating experience. Just was approached on LinkedIn and at first they sent me a take home. I learned the front-end tech which was required for it, and then coded it. They just wanted me to fill out a doc but I put it all up on stackblitz. Another portion was back-end which I also put up on another online env so they could see not only the code but how everything was laid out.
Get to the over the screen share interview - just nervous and both the interviewers were impatient, and just the atmosphere was so nerve-wracking - they did nothing to make it more relaxed. Just seemed like the senior guy was stressed out and I was wasting his time. My brain kind of shut off and the seemingly simple problem at that time just seemed insurmountable because I felt myself second guessing my every thought.
Been developing for a number of years for a few companies, and I guess I haven't prepped for the tech interview - I thought my existing skills are what they need and should be enough to evaluate but boy was I wrong.
Needless to say they didn't go with me. It's not like I needed the job, or probably wouldn't have taken it anyway since what their maximum range was lower than what I make, but the startup seemed quite interesting. Just such a bad experience.
