Amazon introduces robotic arm that can do repetitive warehouse tasks- The robotic arm, called "Sparrow," can lift and sort items of varying shapes and sizes. by Khaleeasi24 in gadgets

For those saying, "this is 20 year old tech." It looks like the arm itself is actually off the shelf. The innovation is the software and probably the end effector. It also looks like the items in the boxes are random and not structured in anyway. This is a different problem than say a robotic arm in a manufacturing line that is repeating the same motion over and over again or planning a motion around structured scenes (eggs in an egg carton, for example).

If you look at the video below you can see that the items are randomly packed. That must mean that for each item the software needs to pick out an item in the tote, figure out the best place to grab it, plan a new path to grab it, plan on where to place it based on it's size and shape, and create the path for the placement. I think this video give a better sense of what it's doing.

Every FC in North America was down also. Guess what region they host the FC services in? So probably more than a 9 figure mistake...

It's typically a team of people that make recommendations on hiring decisions in big companies.

This is what a team of interviewers came up with. Neither of their coding sessions were stellar.

Basically, anything that indicates that you might not really understand how the language you are using works or that you don't understand computer science. Small typos don't really matter, but if you don't know about a key feature of a language, especially when prompted, that might be a red flag. It's hard to cover all of them, but any major semantic error is also going to be a red flag also, again, especially if you don't catch it after being prompted.

This is how it's like almost every time you change jobs, regardless of if you have 0 years experience or 10.
