I got a moderate amount of work done today, interviewed a fantastic candidate who I’m going to hire, and one candidate who googled every question I asked including “what are some things you personally like or don’t like about Kotlin”

i mean, you wont be this person because you're not going to be treating your interview as an exam that you have to get a 100% on to move forward. outside of the FAANGs, interviews (at least, imo) exist to 1) see what you know and what you dont know, what you have experience in and what you dont, and what you personally like to work on and do 2) check ur vibes to see if youre cool. you, the candidate, should also be seeing if you like our vibes, are interested in the work that you'd be doing, and if the interviewers are assholes or not


personally my most used line at both work and at home is "i dont know, but let's find out together". then nobody thinks anyone is some megalithic archival being of knowledge and truth, and everyone learns the answer to a question that nobody knew before it was asked

that being said yeah i 100% loving hate being interviewed because i probably couldnt pass a coding interview about stupid loving algorithms i'll never use, and im not particularly interested in finding out if people are still doing those kind or if people are doing practical code interviews like i prefer where you ask the candidate to just build a 45min fart app to show me pictures of puppies from dog.ceo and tell me why they did it the way they did

i don't think people learn logic anymore. they just learn to google for node.js modules and glue them together in the most superficial way.
