Opportunity cost and candidate experience. I think an extra hour to talk will give me more information than watching them balance a binary tree. For many people the stress of the leetcode session is just awful, I don’t think it’s a nice thi

Right and it becomes your job to spot bullshit and bring people out of their shell. It’s not easy to do that, but who said hiring was easy!

We have similar machines here and the input is extremely unreliable and laggy, I.e buttons work maybe 30% of the time and it takes about a second to perform an action. I’m sure you can imagine how frustrating that is to use the first few t
