First time I ever came across Game Of Life was in an interview test for a tier two tech company you will have heard of. I managed to get a working implementation in 45 minutes but didn’t get the job as my solution was “inelegant” Of course it was! It was the first time I’d ever come across it (self taught dev, electronics degree) and I was actually pretty pleased with what I did under interview conditions after 2 other coding tests. Anyway, it was an interesting test, shame I didn’t get the job - especially since I smashed the LRU Cache and compression algorithm tests.
