What score on oa games?

[thorn escarp]

uh it was a long time ago but iirc it was 200k smth factory and 4/3 cars

600/600 on the codesignal too if that helps

[shy sparrow]

Oh thats not crazy

[thorn escarp]

yeah it was mostly my internships and projects that got me noticed

How to do cars section, can't make more than 2 cars each time 🙏

[drowsy dune]

what kind of project/exp were they looking for?

[thorn escarp]

internship wise I spent 2 summers at cap1. mostly generic backend swe with a bit of ml/nlp to it
project wise i took a couple of grad courses (netsec/graphics/networks) and so have projects dealing with systems and graphics (i.e. verilog stuff/os/animation/etc)
most of my resume centers around systems/graphics. i have a bit of ml but not much focus in it

for cars my strat was
||- pray that i get enough combos in time||

• common sense usually helps remove parts as options as well. iirc chips usually have a "pair part" they want as well
  for factory technically this is basically an LP problem so you could make a really complex system of linear equations to get the optimal
  || real strat is just capitalism LOL||

note that this is all mostly rng. iirc you get a different random game setting each time so the strat can change a lot.
||the games are quite a time sink though||

Good point on the pair part for the chip, I think I'm probably not spending enough time analyzing specific combos

Factory is pretty easy to max out (or almost max, technically can't prove I have optimal without more time)

Maybe I'm just getting resume rejected after OA
