reminds me of the interviews I've had where we discussed my TDD habits for 15-20 minutes and then I was asked to write code on a whiteboard "...can I use an IDE? we all have laptops?" blew everyone's mind (the answer was no, of course)

"All our code is developed on whiteboards, we just take pictures and OCR the pictures before compiling. Uh, how's your printing, pretty clear?"

Even more rare: when that algorithm isn't already implemented and heavily optimized somewhere else. Every so often, I do write such a library. It is rare and usually based on a lack of the desired functionality *in the desired language*. I should probably release more FOSS.

All my interesting problems needed both. The problem (meta-problem?) is that the clever algorithm part takes up 10% of the time and is fun and the iterative part takes up 40% and is boring. The other half is filling out paperwork.

Here is a +5M line production codebase involving four legacy systems and two current ones. A vendor update has broken critical functionality. The suspected fix is four lines of code- you have 8 hours and need three layers of approvals, how do you proceed?

give them a flawed program to diagnose/debug, maybe? and restrict the tools they can use to do so?
