A comment on Coding Interview Preparation Bootcamp. Parent comment
The point of the post was that they were/are optimizing for the wrong things.
Some people watch "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" and chuckle when they realize they're not.
A smaller subset of people take it to the next level and (would) hire the 5th grader instead of the adult to do an adult's job.
Life's not a game show, but some (most?) of us forget that when we conduct interviews.
