Reversing a tree is not a skill. It's a test of rudimentary experience working with fundamental data strutures. You are not expected to know the solution, but you are expected to produce one if asked.
"Leetcode puzzles"... jeez.
- mcntsh 5y agoAgain, if this "experience" so "rudimentary", why do top engineers spend time on leetcode trying to get better for interviews? Wouldn't this "rudimentary" experience be learned through their, you know, actual work experience?
- eps 5y agoBecause these "top engineers" are self-taught with massive gaps in their base CS education? Reversing a tree tests for the knowledge of binary trees and recursion, which is... what?... a second year of a CS program, conservatively?
- mcntsh 5y agoGo on Blind. There are plenty of engineers at top companies in the Bay Area talking about “grinding leet code” as a part of their job searches.
