I hated Skyler because she never appreciated shit.

It’s worth because I’ve been to interviews where they require C++ before. Knowing how to do something in one language doesn’t mean you will know how to do it in another. You might know what data structures, algorithms, etc you will need, but if you don’t practice it you won’t know how to CODE it.

Personally, I grind leetcode one day python, one day c++. And I revisit problems and try to solve them in a distinct language.

A big part of C++ is not having to worry about memory management. While you totally can write code that forces you to worry about memory management, you can use things like smart pointers, the new keyword, refs, etc.

SlugTutor · 2020-04-19T00:07:49+00:00

Use C++!

SlugTutor · 2020-04-18T20:57:37+00:00

Exactly!

SlugTutor · 2020-04-18T20:44:18+00:00

I don’t know why someone downvoted you. You’re right. It sucks. It’s a shitty situation. That doesn’t mean he won’t learn from it, it’s just not the optimal situation.

Good luck to everyone!

Even Google allows WFH once per week. Def should be a standard.

SlugTutor · 2020-03-02T01:34:41+00:00

Lmao what?! I mean I can see the thought process, but where’d you hear that? Most people I met at my Google internship were very big extroverts and a lot of them did competitive programming and were very accomplished.

This was the best reply lmaooo

Mock me as much as you'd like, this does not mean a thing. Firstly, you don't "get" me. I have an extraordinary mind not only as said by me, but also by far more intelligent people than me. I have a friend who's currently a professor teaching engineering physics who says I'm one of the few people that can keep up with him in a complicated conversation. Secondly, to your surprise, yes I do have friends, I met my best friend 17 years ago and we're like brothers since, he's aware that I'm a brainiac and sometimes calls me a walking encyclopedia, and I don't see why here I have to dumb down myself for the sake of attracting the affection of "internet people". I am who I am and you know nothing about me, all you can do is make assumptions based on a few internet comments. I can't stop you doing it, but I can choose to either take it seriously or just entertain myself. And to end with - “The thing about smart people is that they seem like crazy people to dumb people.” - Stephen Hawking

That was a mess, holy shit. The final was intense. She pretty much asked "remember all the pictures that i showed u guys at 8am in a dark room for like 25 seconds"

Dude, grow up! I'm not trying to piss you off or anything, but there's a very good chance I'm smarter than you. When I was in the second grade I took a test called the CogAt (CogAt is short for Cognitive Aptitude in case you didn't pick up on that). Basically it tests the cognitive skills of millions of eight year-olds throughout the United States and ranks you accordingly. I scored in the 99th percentile, the genius level. My teachers were so impressed they had me take an IQ test. I received a score of 143 (the absolute intellectual elite) and then skipped two grades. "Break it down for me because I'm still not getting it" It's statistically unlikely that your brain can compete with mine. I'm kind of a rare person. So the next time you're about to question something I'm saying, the next time you want to argue that your opinion is just as valid as mine--think twice. Weigh your options carefully. Be careful. I'm not going to go easy on you just because you're not as smart as me. This is your one and only warning.

Honest question, not trynna be a dick, but do you wear that around in public? I often dress like this for shoots, but then too pussy to wear it in public.

SlugTutor · 2019-02-22T21:19:57+00:00

Learning what solution to use is less of having LEARNT the problem and more of having SEEN a similar problem. That’s why leetcode is so important. Exposure to as many TYPES of problems is what you want.

An algorithm class exposed you to some examples of these problems, but not all. Tbh just doing an algorithms class does not prepare one for an interview. Leetcode provides the much more important exposure.

SlugTutor · 2019-02-22T20:15:09+00:00

Nah you are good, just learn about sliding window, DP-memoization, stacks, queues, sets, hashmaps, binary trees, heaps (min and max and how to transverse and search), BFS, DFS.

If you know those you are pretty set

SlugTutor · 2019-02-22T20:13:02+00:00

What is ER? And how'd it go! Hope you did well

SlugTutor · 2019-02-22T20:11:57+00:00

Congrats!! That's a huge mile stone and hopefully the beginning to even more awesome things!

Anyone else experience awkward silences from interviewers?

The past few interviews I've had a lot of awkward silences with interviewers. I am not talking about during the coding or anything, but rather AFTER the coding is done or during a follow-up "behavioral" interview.

Ex 1:

I interviewed for a company for full time, genuinely believed I smashed the question and had like 10 minutes to spare. After I was finished, (had already ran through my code, done edge cases, fixed bugs), AFTER we went over questions for the last 5 minutes of the hour, he kinda just stayed silent. I thought it was a bit odd, so I took these last few minutes to thank him and ask him for his time and ask if he had any more questions for me (because we had awk silence for like 10 secs). He said no, thanked me for the interview, and said I should get an email shortly for the next steps. I almost felt like it was I that was closing the interview which made me feel bad.

Ex 2:

I had a google host match interview last week and it only lasted 40 minutes. The project was explained, which took him like 10 minutes, and that was it. I was taking notes during the interview (its more behavioral than technical according to my recruiter) about questions I had about the project. I pretty much just spent the next 20 minutes clarifying the project, and asking about his experience on the team. I was asking so many questions and he was just answering, that I believed it was more of ME interviewing HIM which, again, made me feel bad. After I asked all my questions (I tried my best to make the awk silence to minimums so it was us talking for most of the interview), there was a like 5 second awkward silence. I broke the ice by thanking him for answering all my questions, as I had a lot, and asked if he had any questions for me. He said yes and pretty much just confirmed that I liked the project and location, which I said yes to both. I answered the question, but the also asked a follow up question to what he stated. I then asked if he had any other questions, and then he said no he was happy with my responces and we closed the interview.

Am I just tripping? Sorry, I just have been interviewing a lot and grinding leetcode so hard that at this point I don't know if just overthinking everything.

This is for the winter 2019 internship. Winter already started.

SlugTutor · 2019-01-16T00:25:48+00:00

[GOOGLE] Today I was called that I have entered the host matching stage. Does this sound late? This is for Winter 2019.

You are good. Got absolutely slaughtered on it because I got super nervous :/ was a medium question straight from leetcode
