Never fail another technical interview. Here’s how

3 points by tall 5 years ago

Virtual interviews have completely changed the way technical interviews can be approached. With just a few simple steps you can have all the answers at your finger tips.

For example, my interviewing language of choice is JavaScript. So I went to GitHub searched for leetcode filtered by JavaScript and compiled the top 8 repos into one master list of solutions. https://github.com/AlexJuarez/solutions

The next steps are to compile implementations in JavaScript of all the algorithms and data structures that one might need to know. I already had written one https://github.com/AlexJuarez/learn-js/tree/master/data-structures.

The last step is to feed all this information into your programmatic ai app of choice mines, kite.app, and from there magic. Well that is if you’re in a supported ide, but still control-f for all text becomes a game changer for quickly locating relevant code.

If I can do it, you can too. And why not?

I guess it was only a matter of time before people started cheating the idiotic whiteboarding (and virtual whiteboarding) interviews.

Ethics aside, I expect techniques like this will make your code suspiciously familiar after a while...
