I explained to one of my neighbors, who's not in the industry, job searching in software dev is like the nightmare where you forgot that you had a college final and you haven't studied.

I explained to my cousin who does Power engineering, "Imagine I fail you for inability to solve hard calculus problems from sem 1 of college on a whiteboard, even though you don't need any more than basics".

He said, "I'd never subject myself to such crap interviewers"

Interesting to see this posted as I'm taking algorithms this semester and the homework due in 2 weeks has a LIS question.

I accidentally implemented the longest common subsequence that runs in linear space[1] and it actually worked as a drop in replacement for LIS, for my particular question.
