Unifying the Technical Interview (2020)
Previously: Rewriting the Technical Interview. Aisha’s hands rattle you.
But she is giggling and glad to finally meet you, and her hair bounces in loose ringlets around the shoulders of her yellow sundress, and you like her, this thirty-something engineer who has worked here three years (even if you don’t understand what it is, exactly, that she does for Mineral Analytics, Limited), who heard you were on the market, and just had to interview you personally. With sincerest thanks to Taber Bain, Zyle Cook, Brad Greenlee, Coda Hale, Duretti Hirpa, Moishe Lettvin, Dan Mess, Kit Patella, and Emily St, who contributed research, story suggestions, and feedback on initial drafts. This approach seemed too derivative, and balancing a binary tree was an interview question which I personally bombed in 2010; it felt nice to revisit the problem with Aisha & Vidrun at the helm.
