Slightly meta (relating to the website) and not this specific article, I got a popup toast saying
> Secret Zebra just left feedback for their FAANG interviewer:
I really enjoyed the interview, you did really well in giving me the right level of assistance to keep under the time constraints. It was also pretty useful that you had prepared some extra code for testing.
Apart from such toasts being unusual, I doubted that a review would be "just" left by someone. Googling the text brought me to https://interviewing.io/mocks/Reverse-Nodes-in-k-Group https://interviewing.io/mocks/Reverse-Nodes-in-k-Group, which as per archive.org was at least as old as 2 June 2023[1]. Not terribly old, but feels scummy to be honest.

- leeny 3y agoWe're actually testing those popups right now. Cycling through a few preexisting ones to see if engagement moves at all, and then we'll make them realtime.
