I’ve always hated programming exercises live during an interview. Way I dealt with it typically was taking notes about it after (so that if you see something similar in a different interview later, you can be better prepared for it). Doing various interviews coding exercises helps a little too.

Reading other replies, I find it interesting. I use a manna water bottle (big 128fl oz one) and typically drink about half a day. I normally can let it be for quite awhile (a few weeks I’d say) before feeling like I should clean it.

This applies to everyone

I completely agree with this. I remember around college I applied for a tester job for over the summer. They saw I was possibly qualified for a dev role and did an interview for that instead. I wasn’t well prepared and they asked me to do a live code writing on a whiteboard. I didn’t do well.

The interviewer then went on a rant about how he doesn’t know what they teach in college these days. He sort of apologized for it in an email later but that left such a bad taste in my mouth for live coding interviews and managers that held them to that high of an esteem.

Give Strange Circus a try.

Can’t say I have recommendations but would love to hear some as well. Especially an adblocker.

I’ll throw my hat in the ring. Thanks for this!

2012 was what felt like a more normal election where the candidates respected each other and it played out a lot more typically. (Same for 2008). Trump changed that up and it’ll possibly stay that way going forward.

Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan

His latest series starting with San Francisco Streets is fantastic. It’s filled with great interviews, stories, and information. Andrew does an excellent job of storytelling while being humane I thought.
