@avibryant i thiiiink i'm in favour of fixing the process not the people here :) -
@b0rk no question, we should fix the process at Stripe. Doesn’t help people interviewing elsewhere. -
@avibryant "suboptimal things your interviewer may be evaluating you on and how to do well anyway"? =D

@avibryant pretty sure that on-the-spot interview coding of any kind is not a meaningful or helpful way to assess people's capabilities -
@jschauma@avibryant pfft, who uses "documentation" when coding? Or does research? Or uses an editor? Now, AVL Trees! Mach, schnell!! -

@avibryant@slyphon@jschauma oh, wow, now I really want to apply! And also to get a strace zine. I get a strace zine right? And vim?! :) -
@aaronmblevin@slyphon@jschauma you should apply and use Haskell and CPS. -
@avibryant imposter syndrome on high-alert!#runsaway ;) I will only interview at the Galiano office, tho. -
@avibryant ok, applied!

@peterseibel@avibryant it's a great teaching language for teaching why deprecation matters.

@avibryant Is that a thing? I distinctly remember doing all of my interviews in Standard ML 3 1/2 years ago, and no one seemed to mind. -
@Eigenvariable@avibryant I did some interviews in Scala, and they made me rewrite my code in Python. -
@kf@Eigenvariable@avibryant I had someone for an analytics position want to code in awk which I refused. -
@meangrape@kf@avibryant That sounds like an excellent troll.
