    I don't understand the pervasive belief that it's better to interview in Python even if you don't know Python well. Don't handicap yourself!

        (That's not a subtweet; this is a surprisingly common issue, and I'd love to guide people away from doing this.)

        @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

        .@slyphon @jschauma FWIW, Stripe's interviews all involve your laptop, your editor, your choice of language, and feel free to do research.

        @aaronmblevin @slyphon @jschauma you should apply and use Haskell and CPS.
