    I just realised that coding artifacts and non-coding artifacts don't really make much sense in this context... I think what I meant was elements that are directly related to coding implementation, and elements that aren't. But that's kinda wordy so hopefully you still get the point I was trying to make :)

      hello , i noticed that you read of a script and as a result you look at the camera at random
      there is a software that concentrates your eyes strait to the camera tha tou can use.

    Perfect video tbh, everyone talks about these tech interviews like the implementations are the easiest things ever... they're not; so this is def super helpful.

    I wish each interview could give 5 mins in the beginning just for the interviewee to think about the problem, brain storm, and gather methods. It is kind of ridiculous to ask interviewees to talk, code, and solve at the same time. Then the whole coding interview becomes if you have seen the question before.

    I like this coding interview framework. We often don't communicate our process, or rush to solve the question without asking clarifying questions, constraints, etc. It can save a lot of time for the interviewee and the interviewer to follow a step-by-step, structured approach.

    Hi Andrew, Thank you for sharing this info. A lot of your sharing echoes my practice as I transitioned from a Mechanical Engineering PhD-level engineer to a senior SDE. Honestly, I learned a lot of CS skills when problem comes. Thus, those non-coding artifacts are actually like complementary portion to my coding artifacts. Of course, I keep practicing leetcode and Data Structure and Algorithm regularly just to keep myself sharp in skill. It is like a life-long practice. Thank you,

    1) Clarify requirements
    2) Brute force solution
    2.5) Code brute force solution
    3) Optimal solution
    4) Code optimal solution
    5) Testing and analysis
    Constantly communicate as much as possible and ask clarifying questions

      It's totally on me, though! Spent half the time on the problem dumbfounded that Python's dict keys don't return as integers even if you insert them as integers. Perfectly demostrated to the interviewer my inexperience in the language. 😁
      Chatted with the interviewer afterwards for 10 minutes discussing my performance. He told me my communication was excellent and I should totally keep working on my coding skills to nail the job next time.

      ⁠​⁠@@imaginaryvenus5What do you mean integer keys don’t return as integers? I tried this code and got an integer returned.
      # Give dictionary an integer key
      hash = {1: None}
      print(type(list(hash.keys())[0]))
      #

    hello! i really hope that you see this after 3 years
    what should I do on the questions part if the task seems very easy, I'm confident about my complexity answers, the implementation as well and really want to start coding right away? should I still ask questions & clarify use cases? I don't think I'm a perfect coder but the task I got was marked 'Easy' on Leetcode as well
    I see that this part is graded separately from the code but won't I seem too dumb if I suddenly try to clarify everything for a simple task?

      That is so true lol. Something I always feel dumb about interview where we need to know so much algorithms. Those people that passed the interview when on the job position can just have the AI do 90% of their work. And then they just need to be there to modify it to make it the way they want.
