Is this referring to homebrew?
On the one hand i get it, but on the other hand reversing a binary tree isn’t some crazy leetcode grind. Most people can figure it out in a few mins and i think its fair to reject someone who can’t
- epolanski 1y agoNo there's nothing fair into rejecting the author of homebrew (but he wasn't alone) to work on homebrew. It's beyond silly.
- john-h-k 1y agoHe wasn't rejected for a role working on homebrew. He was rejected from google for an unrelated role > answer by himself: https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejecting-Max-Howell-the-author-of-Homebrew-for-not-being-able-to-invert-a-binary-tree/answer/Max-Howell?share=100e0bb6&srid=unBJ9 https://www.quora.com/Whats-the-logic-behind-Google-rejectin...
- dogleash 1y agoIt's not one instance. Most people who have this happen to them don't tweet about it. Every instance could have a "well, you should have ______ better" stapled to it. Here's another one that I already know exists off the top of my head -- the only thing I have to look up is the tweet url: https://twitter.com/tiangolo/status/1281946592459853830 https://twitter.com/tiangolo/status/1281946592459853830
- john-h-k 1y agoI don't think is apple/google. This sounds like the kind of thing small companies do. I would be very surprised if that was FAANG I am not a fan of leetcode interviews myself, but I don't think the FAANG process is that bad. I am interested in any specific examples of authors of projects being rejected from big-tech companies for a role where they would work on their own thing
- wanderer11 1y agoI disagree with it being fair to reject someone who can’t reverse a binary tree. I’ve never had to do it in my 16 year career and it’s easily learned. You could literally teach someone in a few minutes.
