If a take home assignment takes more than 2-3 hrs, or is one of those “spend as much time as you like”, you’re in a not great situation. The mgr likely doesn’t know exactly what he’s looking for, or likely doesn’t care too much about emplo

I like reading this comment thread on why google may have been superior to altavista. It gives a more “adult” perspective on something I remember as a kid. I was in middle or high school, and remember using several different search engines:
