>Honestly having an interview process that is highly standardized and teachable + learnable is a good thing

Yes I agree but the current way we have is not even close to that.

He touch that issue in the article. So you spend a lot of time and effort to learn about binary tree, great, you pass with flying colors with company A, then you interview with company B, they ask you trie tree ...fuck.

The closest to a standard (and only for FAANG) is Cracking the Coding Interview, but even that is a large pool of questions to keep in one's head far above what you're likely to do on the job.

It's pretty standardized. 99% of the questions you could possibly be asked are on leetcode for most large companies.
