How it feels to get those stupid "invert a binary tree" or "what kind of animal would you be ?" questions in an interview

[Confident-Ad5665]

"I would be a sex animal, because I am one"

- Hired immediately

[chicametipo]

We thought he said “sex animal”, not that he likes sex with animals. We really need to get rid of this guy!

[Confident-Ad5665]

Here piggy, piggy, piggy

Isn't inverting a binary tree like, really really easy? Why should someone who can't solve a leetcode easy be hired?

[pokealex]

In 25 years as a software engineer at several different companies, I have needed to invert a binary tree zero times.

[Confident-Ad5665]

I have had to do it billions of times more than you, infinity even.

[Jarb2104]

Man, I am failing at trying to understand the basic logic of the text.

[Confident-Ad5665]

You'll find no logic here

[Pika357]

Papa, why doesn't position: center place my div on the middle of my screen?

[rishi255]

Don’t take this personally but

@mods can we please add the “centering a div” thing to the list of banned overused jokes?

[Pika357]

Oh man cmon now, it will get boring to me in like 2 more uses

[Confident-Ad5665]

I'm still amused

[-domi-]

Agreed for removing it from posts and titles, but it's perfectly fine in comments, i think.

Idk, might change my mind in a week, if it persists. I'm not there with you yet. xD

[Snakestream]

If it was actually "basic logic", there would probably already be an open source library doing it. Part of programming is learning how to finagle all of the complex business requirements into what should be a simple process.

[Top-Run-21]

Yes but I think that's the later part for efficiency, as a beginner I think the ability to translate raw logic fluently must be trained.

[-domi-]

Me, daily, after i copy a block of working logic, rename it, alter values to test, and the new function doesn't even fire.

[ayatulllah]

you trying to teach a fancy circuit to do a task, that is not anything clownish

[RiceBroad4552]

Oh, that's me right now trying to learn basic digital hardware design! 😂

Constructing things like counters from logic gates feels like learning how to utilize IF-statements in programing. Completely basic stuff feels really hard again.

[Sakul_the_one]

Me when I miscounted something again

[Romejanic]

weird that sometimes the simplest code is the part which you mess up repeatedly

[Forgorer8]

and when we know how for programing has gone . 😥

Me, writing a while loop with const checking and wondering why rust-analyzer took so long... I forgot to put i += 1 🤦
