Root824695yThose were fun challenges.
I don't have any advice on the interviews though; I chose not to interview with them on moral grounds. -
objective85y@Root Fair. Given a different situation I probably wouldn’t, but so far they are the only ones that haven’t run when I say self taught.

Start simple; use sensible data structures, talk about optimizations and be personable. Discuss time and space complexity of your algorithms, as well as the various other approaches and where your current approach works best.
Also be on the lookout for the various np-complete gotchas. The test there is just to identify the need for dynamic programming.
And, good luck! -
@PublicByte computer science is not related to certain programming languages and their structs, technologies, frameworks etc. This a misconception that gives false relief to self-taught code monkeys. Forgive me for sounding elitist but you probably dont know what cs is, fighting against strawman.
I have the first of 6 interviews next week with Google, after completing level 3 of the Foobar challenge...
I’m 100% self taught and this will be my first interview for anything development related. Needless to say I’m nervous as fuck and imposter syndrome is hitting hard.
Anyone have tips? Things you wish you knew before your first developer position interview? Or just resources? Trying to be as prepared as possible.
