I have a friend who is a good programmer, and likes learning, and is easy to work with, but he is terrible at technical interviews. He stresses about them to no end. This sounds like a much better process.
- BinaryIdiot 12y agoI know no end of people in the exact same bucket. I used to think I wasn't in the bucket at all as I've been through many difficult and time consuming interviews but I always got an offer until I interviewed at Microsoft and Google (though I still maintain my failure at those two companies were not entirely my fault but I digress). After going through the march of those two big companies I found the process incredibly annoying and not useful at all; nothing of substance was really ever discussed it was almost always academic or some sort of trick question where I get to hear the interviewer talk for half an hour how they came up with a superior technique. I've interviewed a lot of people. Interviewing software developers is such a pain in the ass.
