Omg they kept asking me ab why hashmaps had more memory overhead in c++ and

#

I just blanked

#

I was like bro 😭😭

#

But I tried to answer to best of my ability and said u need to store info ab key and also the value but completely ignored the pointer part and continuous memory alloc part

#

And it was the most trivial part of my project too I actually didn’t even use a hashmap

#

😭😭😭😭

#

But idk I explained a lot about the other parts and gave alternatives and stuff I have no clue

#

LOL fml

#

did they ask u only resume deep dive or sys design too. also that question is foul i wouldnt be able to explain that lmao. r yall super comfortable with low level stuff?

astral yacht Dec 23, 2025, 8:56 PM

#

Resume deep dive only but on me because I talked about why I didn’t use another way of mapping my memory oops

#

So I shouldn’t have even mentioned that in the first place I have a yapping problem ugh

tulip tusk Dec 23, 2025, 8:58 PM

#

im sure itll be fine bro a tiny detail like that shouldnt cost u

#

as long as u were a normal dude that knows his stuff there aint no way they gon cut u cuz u couldnt explain low level hashmap in c++

Did you have c++ on your resume?

#

Or did he just ask you for fun

astral yacht Dec 25, 2025, 4:44 PM

#

It was follow-ups that kind of led to this

plain sinew Dec 25, 2025, 4:45 PM

#

Ah ok

#

So just resume stuff right, what did he ask you about?
