Scheduled the screening interview on the day I was getting back to DC, 2 hours after arrival time. But… we hit traffic.

Couldn't postpone b/c EXPLODING OFFER. But I wasn't getting home in time for workday end. "I'm fine proceeding if you are?" "Sounds good!"

test (sent before) was to write a C function that takes sorted int[] and int as args, does binary search to see if 2nd was element of 1st

*music plays* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p8cH380Mrg … Interviewer: "Why did you give me two implementations?" Pablo: "It has to do with C arrays, length!"

"You can't derive array length, which you need for binary search. 1st implementation broke spec, and took 3rd argument for array length."

"2nd was "letter of the law," tries to guess by comparing adjacent elements until one breaks sort. HIGHLY DANGEROUS"

Interviewer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0IjAiPIp9lU … "It was a trick question! Passing candidates pass 3rd arg, or wrap in struct/class. Why iterative?"

Everyone on the bus heard me say: "Sure, O(logn) stack frames isn't much, but why settle when you could have O(1)?"

I passed the screen, and was still in Baltimore. Got flown in for onsites, passed, and eventually ended up working for them (Adobe).

I'd love to say people reacted all sorts of ways to my 30ish minute interview, but honestly, nobody budged or said anything :-p
