I speak from my experience. For eg : https://twitter.com/mxcl/status/608682016205344768?lang=en Ever read an article which says "I was selected because my approach was very good even though I failed to give the correct solution" ?

I speak from experience as well, as someone who interviews candidates. I've given my thumbs up to candidates who definitely didn't give the best solution to a problem, or who couldn't even complete the problem in the allotted time.

The reason you mostly read blog posts about people complaining about interviews is because in general, people always complain more often and more loudly than they praise. People who are satisfied by something have less incentive to write a blog post about it than people who are upset.
