The dystopian world of software engineering interviews
When my classmates were preparing interview coding questions, I was working on a mini TCP implementation and a toy kernel.<p>AWS rejected me since I failed to write prefect code to traverse a tree in level order. Google did not even give me an interview since I told the campus recruiter I have not prepared for the coding questions.<p>Then I ended up with an internship at CoreOS and created etcd. I am glad that they did not hire me back then.<p>Today, I am sure I still cannot pass the coding interview at "Giant Search and Advertising Company", but they run a lot of my code in production :P.
