Solving Algorithmic Problems in Python with Pytest (2019)

Side remark, but I really wish interviewers gave me the option of a terminal with vim since that’s pretty much standard on any Unix machine I might ssh into these days.

All too often someone puts me in some weird IDE and I feel like a cat with boots on.

Someone on our school's group chat shared they had a technical interview where she was asked to write code on a shared google doc. I really hope that was an outlier.

I had someone do that to me a few weeks back.

I told them flat out no, gave them my ip, made an account on my local machine and started a shared tmux session over ssh. Since that's my usual ide I didn't lose any capability.

Nice power move.

But I have to have my ip publicly accessable (permission from isp?) beforehand right?

Depends on the ISP, my mobile dongle has a dynamic public ip, I have a little twitter bot that sends out a tweet every time its ip changes.

On my wired connection I have 1tb symmetric fiber with 16 static ipv4 ips and an arbitrarily large number of ipv6 addresses, I just need to register more if I need them (which I really don't).

That said I didn't get the job, so caveat emptor.

Google did this during the pandemic

Are other companies copying them to the Tee?
