Gorgeous. I'm not versed well enough in the theory to validate his code, but I know enough to see where he's going with this.
As an aside, there's a lot of rightful complaining about the interview process. I've been on both sides and it sucks either way.
As a hiring manager for a small company, we never had the 'process' that bigger companies have, so it was always a seat of the pants decision. Not my favourite thing to do.
As an interviewee, I've struggled with people's favourite questions, you know the ones that you ask so much that it starts sounding like an easy question in your head?... I'm productive, I ship software but interviewing is so incredibly stressful and always makes me feel like I don't know much.
Anyhow, if I was interviewing the OP for a typical web app CRUD position or monolith to micro services refactor or some other common role, I'd think twice. Clearly he's very smart. Is he able to "deliver value" vs optimizing code? I know the post was tongue in cheek, but in the real interview setting you gotta demonstrate how you're a smart team player and allude to your capabilities. It's kinda like dating I guess. You can't show how much of a real person you're on the first date.

- guntherhermann 4y agoA name does not imply sex. Even if it did, the parent wrote multiple paragraphs and you get hung up on something as inconsequential as this. Take a day off.

- dandellion 4y agoIt can be a male name, here's a random example I found in Google: https://earth.stanford.edu/events/energy-seminar-naomi-hirose-future-energy-japan-beyond https://earth.stanford.edu/events/energy-seminar-naomi-hiros...

So Naomi is not necessarily a dead giveaway, you guys really split hairs and raise hackles over just about nothing worthwhile. Mistaking someone's sex is not a massive deal. I used to have on my team a guy named Joan (pronounced joe-an) who spoke really softly, so his potential new employers would call me for a reference asking about "she" and "Joan", I'd gently correct them so as not to embarass him on any phone interview in the future. Nobody needed to throw a fit over an honest mistake. Coincidentally, that guy was the best programmer I ever employed. Anyway, just one of many counterexamples to a non-issue.
- ParetoOptimal 4y agoDoes finding an instance of a male named Naomi really convince you that Naomi is not typically a female name?
