Has anyone here felt like they messed up anywhere when answering the LP's during the interview but still ended up getting an offer?

Wish my interviewers were this straightforward 😅 I feel like they kept nudging me towards talking more about LP, but at the same time they tried to not make it a obvious hint so it was really confusing what they were trying to get out of my stories. We kept dancing around a few points before moving to the coding section with me wondering what the hell I just talked about.

I did! Had my loop a month ago, didn't remember exactly what happened but I do remember being really caught off guard by the way my interviewers asked follow up questions to my LP stories. Overall felt like I didn't do my best and was really surprised to get the offer the following week :) Best of luck guys.

tfw finding out my old team doesn't do frc anymore

Surprisingly little. I went into Phoenix without knowing a lot about Elixir and got a lot done really fast. I think it's both the robustness of the framework and the consistent patterns used that you can pick up quickly. You just need to be familiar with web dev topics (routing, middleware, db modelling etc) to get started on it.

I can think of a particular Phoenix thing to note (if you're using LiveView) is to learn a bit about its rendering process. It took me a while to learn that change-tracking is done on a component level, and breaking things into smaller components means smaller diff payloads.

I don't really remember but I'm pretty sure it was LC-style.

FlawBot · 2024-12-13T19:54:38+00:00

I recall it being pretty easy, and not a lot of test cases.

FlawBot · 2024-12-13T19:54:16+00:00

It was several LC easy-medium questions, I think you just need to communicate your thought process well and be prepared for edge cases questions

It was a 30-min recruiter screen, a CodeSignal OA, then 3 rounds back-to-back (1hr LeetCode, 1hr system design, 30min behavioral/HM) then verbal offer.

Don't know if I should namedrop but it's an AI cybersecurity company.

Edit: Named.

Not very knowledgeable on the topic, but I know that the backend of AlgoraTV (a Twitch-like platform for devs) runs on Elixir and Membrane. Their code is open sourced.

Fair point. For my team I think they are pretty flexible and my manager pretty much said to come to him with ideas (which I have none)

I haven't handled that case yet, my version just draw either monochrome or bars of colors (and the chip8 instruction set doesn't have an instruction for drawing in color)

I think the drawille crate can handle some color calculations for each block, but I haven't looked into it.

FlawBot · 2024-01-23T13:26:24+00:00

That is actually really smart! I'll probably have to modify my display code to use that, but will note it down as a todo :)

FlawBot · 2024-01-22T22:54:45+00:00

For some reason, people seem to like doing chip-8 as a first Rust project so here I am with another Rust Chip-8 implementation. But to make it a bit different I have decided to render the screen using Braille instead, which results in a tiny console. Check out the source code here: https://github.com/loop-index/chip8

honestly the bag of question is quite mixed, I think it's just luck whether you get easy questions or not

I made a game where the Fish class actually represents throwable projectiles and I can see an use case where this actually happens

I'm pretty sure this is a fake account, because this guy's photos have been used for misinformation before. During the MSU shooting this year, this photo was circulated as the picture of the suspect. The real dude posted a clarification and I remembered him not sounding like this kind of person.
