As another data point, I’ve faced this question as well when interviewing with them.
Having said that, it’s a great alternative compared to Leetcode style questions, where you’re penalized for just asking about the problem or not having the right insight from the get go, or not using the interviewer’s preferred formulation of the solution (such as using two queues for a graph search problem instead of just one).
- themoonisachees 3y agoMaybe it's just because I do that a lot, but imo potential candidates that are HN readers already know how to do this, if there are no gotchas. I find leetcoee considerably harder.
- belval 3y agoYeah I would be fun to do a analysis of commenters, my guess would be that people defending leetcode style interview are probably younger and people praising a real code change are older simply because that's what each group is more used to.
