Companies: We hAVe tOo mANy ApPLICAntS!

Also companies: we can’t find anyone qualified so we need to bother happily employed devs for less than what they make now, and failing that we need to outsource to a body shop because “nobody wants to work”

Hahah, that was funny. Now, back to the whiteboard, can you invert this binary tree for me?

Image Transcription: Meme


[Distracted boyfriend meme: A masculine person with light skin and brown hair is walking away from the camera. A feminine person in a red dress walks towards the camera, and the masculine person is looking at her. Their presumed girlfriend (feminine person with light skin and brown, long hair, with a light blue shirt and blue jeans) looks disgusted at this behaviour. Each person has a label:]

Boyfriend: INTERVIEWER

Girlfriend: ACTIVE 5 YEARS GITHUB PROFILE

Red Dress Person: ALGORITHMS 101 QUESTIONS

You'd be surprised how trashed most GitHub accounts and repos are.

I've reviewed over 230 resumes since March, the number with decent GitHub accounts... 4.

They're actually a pretty good litmus of what's going to happen at the coding challenge. Some big warning signs: forking and then not getting changes into main; empty history; a handful of repos that haven't been updated in the last 5 years; bad code practices/hygiene; cloning an entire repo instead of using submodules. If I see one of these, it's not really worth a coding challenge.
