Given your clear technical expertise here and on Twitter, I would argue that you might just be performing better than most people, so "most interviewers" are more reasonable with you specifically.
- saagarjha 4y agoI appreciate the confidence in my abilities, but I meant this more as a “good interviewers are ok with you making syntax errors (I mean, you usually don’t have a compiler) and minor issues with your code”. In fact I actually prefer to ignore off by ones and other annoying bits to ensure the interviewer understands that I know what I’m doing with the general algorithm, then go back and do a pass where I ensure these are correct to preempt a “can you run this on some input for me/how would you test this/why do you think it is correct”. If you indicate what you’re doing as you do it “this might be off by one, I’ll fix this bound later” it has usually worked for me. Not to discount your point; I can’t speak for everyone’s experiences of course, but this has been mine.
