This is really interesting to look at in the context of other hiring testing -- like Google's practice of asking silly abstract questions like "invert a binary tree" for jobs which do not involve substantial algorithmic work.

- erik_seaberg 4y agoGoogle doesn’t hire an ordinary dev for one specific job, they allow internal transfers and other teams expect you to meet the bar for your title. They do more useless protobuf schlepping by hand than they should, but I’d be surprised if any job were 100% that and 0% algorithms.
