Tech Interview Handbook

So I had the same problem for a while, it was quite absurd, because I got through my uni courses, could decently code in Haskell and some other things, but never figured out the appropriate position to put an if clause.

I then did a course on assembly programming and having to be extremely structured and using jump statements actually helped me a lot in easier to use programming languages.

Point of this comment is that people might be good at a lot of things, while just having some weird brainfuse related to a very specific thing. That said, not using if statements makes programming rather difficult.

No see I wish they had any redeeming skill, he always asked an engineer to assist him with anything. They couldn't figure out anything on their own. It was shocking someone could complete the interview (small problem with a solution that is essentially explained, make x do y) and completely fail at building their own solutions without guidance
