1. Does anyone want to do mock interviews / study with me / team up in some other way? Email me: arjun@nyclabs.co and I'll create a group. 2. Any unconventional advice/tips for studying or the interview itself?

Also, being able to intelligently explain
* top 10 algorithms of all time
* top 20 "popular" technologies
If you want me for a skillset that I have then interview me on that.
If you think that dumb white board questions are relevant, then there is a 50% chance that I will get it right. Your loss if I get it wrong. You know that job isn't going to be related to some algorithmic crap. (At least it doesn't waste too much of my time - compared to some pretty hefty take home tests I have done).
After 15 years, there is too much stuff to study for its likely a waste of time. I know the stuff that I know well. I won't bullshit any claims about stuff that i don't know.
I always hear that the interview process is broken and we need a new system etc but I would imagine we’d want our new coworkers to know how to create an array, and maybe create pointers to it and maybe adjust pointers based on a condition and given an arbitrary algo be able to apply the above skills to a particular set of conditions. And I’ve always wondered how much better it would be if there was some type of consistent grading to these interviews. Anyway if that’s something you’re interested in exploring I’d be happy to chat.

I signed up for an account there months ago, got a message about it being in "closed beta" and have heard nothing since.
What position will you be interviewing for?
