When I conduct interviews, I want to see you code. I don’t want to see your code, I want to see you type something from scratch. That means, brand new, as in not something you’ve already done (or copied from somewhere else).

 
Interviewing: How many questions can you answer in 30 minutes?

I’m not the kind of person that really get’s turned off by interviews. I actually enjoy them sometimes. It can be a good test of my skills and knowledge. A lot of the time it shows me whether or not I’m good at explaining what I know. Communication is very important to me in my career. Lately, however, I’ve taken a different role in the interviewing process. I’ve become the one giving them instead of taking them. I thought today would be a good day to talk about interviews I’ve had, and what kind of interviews I think make up “good” interviews, and which one’s I think are “bad”.
