i did decent, back then, i got it for 2022

#

it was like a parallel threads question

#

so that im not blocking on the main thread as i wait for requests to get resolved

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:24 PM

#

Had something similar

#

turns out the answer was obscure

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

#

someone asked me something similar this what i responded

#

some sort of respository package threads thing

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

Oh I didn’t have that one

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:25 PM

#

fading sphinx turns out the answer was obscure

oh interesting

#

rip

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

@fading sphinx how many parts did u get through?

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

fading sphinx Oh I didn’t have that one

i think the objective to just see more ur thought process tho

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

what parts LMAO

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

i also barely got through 3 lol

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

he just showed me code, said there was a bug, asked me to find and fix

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

like they present the topic, then they ask questions about it, then they have u code stuff

#

yea

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:26 PM

#

He basically walked me thru the fix

#

and then ran outta time

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

yea same

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

like idk what u mean by oatts

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

fading sphinx he just showed me code, said there was a bug, asked me to find and fix

yeah this is accurate - i think they showed me code, they said there is a bug or an optimization > i asked about it > kept asking > figured out the issue > then optimize from there

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

Parts

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

all u can do

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

It was just one bug

#

they didn’t ask me to optimize from there ig

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

i aced decomp but i think i bombed learning idk if thats enough to get to hm

#

i think they value learning more

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:27 PM

#

idk how I did on decomp

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

what is decomp lol

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

I just rambled on about random user features

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

like system design

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

and he was like ok let’s focus on this part

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

oh ya i just studied sys design and just talked about api's, database schema, etc

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

Like he wanted to get more technical

#

Yea

#

But the workshop didn’t say anything about that

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:28 PM

#

all i remember was:
leetcode

talking about projects / how would i build stuff for i think it was like a class + how to sign up for classes + professors etc.

the random parallel optimization

Manager talk was:
building some sort of system for farmers and crop diseases and how would i go about it

#

ohhh

#

lol

#

decomp is that interestnig

#

xD

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

Like r ppl just good at this stuff or what

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

fading sphinx Like r ppl just good at this stuff or what

yea

#

i feel it not too hard, as long u dont need to do throughput

#

at least maybe depends how u approached it

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:29 PM

#

My guy didn’t seem satisfied

#

idk

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

maybe i just got a nice interviewer lol

#

back then

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

i just think learning is the most important cuz u can redo decomp

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

i just talked a bit about db schema, how id pull something to the backend, how id enforce the schemas

#

like it was basically just db schemas and taking in the data on the backend

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

Does hm have to have a technical portion?

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

since frontend is just whatever lol

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

fading sphinx Does hm have to have a technical portion?

not for me? it was just projects, tell me about u, and more like how would u build this high level / go about it > what to watch out for > etc.

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:30 PM

#

yeah can have either coding q or decomp again

#

or just straight behavioral

#

depends how well u did in onsite

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

clear shadow not for me? it was just projects, tell me about u, and more like how would u bui...

That’s decomp

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

i see

#

lol

#

i hate these terms xD

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:31 PM

#

I don’t want to do another coding or decomp

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 6:32 PM

#

decomp was pretty fun hhh, i wish everything was decomp

#

i hate responding to a find the bug question - it just u know it or u dont

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:32 PM

#

yeah i actually enjoyed decomp

#

i just didnt like learning cuz it was too fast like he expected me to make progress after barely just looking at the code

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:35 PM

#

Did u get it in the end?

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:38 PM

#

the learning part?

#

yeah i got it but i needed hints

#

idk if thats good

#

i know there were more parts so idk, im prolly reject 😢

fading sphinx Oct 12, 2023, 6:41 PM

#

are there test cases

#

more parts!??

tribal oracle Oct 12, 2023, 6:42 PM

#

no test cases he just said it was good

#

but yeah on the top of the page there were two more locked q's

#

so i assumed there were more parts

clear shadow Oct 12, 2023, 8:04 PM

#

@warm yew idk how ur supposed to rate “how well”

#

but i think i did well for everything lol

#

i got a turn around prob within a week

tribal oracle Oct 13, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

@warm yew did u get decomp or coding q on hm? I was told i have coding for hm and wanted to know the lc difficulty of it, if u had that part.

fading sphinx Oct 13, 2023, 9:47 PM

#

bro u passed

#

crazy

tribal oracle Oct 15, 2023, 4:51 PM
