I do all of my best thinking in the shower. If I'm in an office, and encounter a hard problem, I immediately resent not being able to get in the shower to think about it. I get anxiety about jumping into a solution that hasn't been signed off on by my shower brain.
Interviews are basically the opposite of showers. That being said, I don't think I've ever failed an interview, but I sure do come up with horribly sub-shower solutions to questions. I do wish there was a little more diversity in the way interviews are conducted, although I have gotten the impression that companies have moved away from the dynamic-programming code challenge style gauntlets, at least a little bit.
- quickthrower2 4y agoMakes me think of “To Rome With Love” where one of the characters can only sing opera if they are having a shower. So they put a shower on stage. Showers do nothing for my thinking but walking alone in a park or countryside (no people and not even a dog) does.
