I was originally going to name this article “How It Took Me 8 Hours to Write 2 Minutes of Code”, but somehow I didn’t think that most software engineers would find that terribly compelling, and if there is one thing engineers like to do, it’s to determine what’s most efficient […]

https://unsplash.com/photos/eWw2BKvKX_0 Whiteboard interviews get a lot of negative press for being ‘unfair’ or ‘not real-world scenarios’. They put candidates on the spot, away from their comfort zones. Countless articles, comments, posts, and tweets declare the irrationality of the process. The thing is, this is the point. The whiteboard phase usually occurs […]

Many linguists believe that the natural language a person speaks affects how they think. Does the same concept apply to computer languages? Programmers working in different kinds of programming languages often come up with radically different solutions to problems. As a more extreme example, computer scientists eliminated the goto statement […]
Generating test data with factory methods The problem Look, we’re amongst friends here, so I feel I can be totally honest: I’ve written some really awful unit tests in my career. Twenty-line monsters with multiple mocks and asserts and asynchronous expectations. The sort of thing you see in books with titles […]

Please read it, take notes, apply the material, and let me know about your results. You can reach me via email at jane@fullstackinterviewing.com. This guide is intended for […]
A visualization of a 2x2x2 downsample of a labeled dataset. This is what COUNTLESS 3D does. Previously, I demonstrated a fully vectorized algorithm, COUNTLESS, that downsampled labeled images by finding the mode of 2×2 patches without counting pixel value frequencies. Here, I generalize COUNTLESS to 3D images using a 2x2x2 patch […]
