This seems completely pointless: either you understand how to solve the question, in which case you don't need any of this, or you don't, in which case all of this won't help you. Reminds me of Magnus Carlsen saying his biggest advantage is that he is better than his opponent at chess. The real "framework" for passing coding interviews is to get better at understanding and solving the problems.
- Jensson 5y agoThis framework help people feel better about themselves when they fail the interview, since at least they wrote a lot of things on the board and didn't just get stuck.
- Apocryphon 5y agoRather droll and overly uncharitable reading, perhaps. Given the highly performative nature of these interviews, where the candidate is expected to explain their "way of thinking", writing out thought processes in a systemized, scientific investigative matter will at least earn partial credit.
