Coding Interview Tips
I have observed a general frustration that good developers (who are in high demand) still need to do well in an interview setting. Frustrating as it may be, I think that embracing the reality is the best path forward.<p>A good developer would be smart to realize that this is a part of the project of finding a great new job, and would apply themselves fully to the subtask of preparing for and succeeding at an interview.<p>I think that, in the same way it is a necessary frustration to make sure the site performs well on IE8, a good developer recognizes the task as essential, and does what is necessary despite the perceived lack of significance.<p>Of course there is a limit to this lack of significance -- I am not advocating that people become professional interview-ees. But embracing the frustrations of a profession can give you a huge edge over those who don't.<p>If I were to be seeking employment right now, my first step would absolutely be to sign up for resources like this one, and dedicate a couple hours a day to honing my interview skills. It would be fun, and would develop a skill that opens a lot of doors.
