If your team does daily standups, your manager is a micromanager
How do you guys answer this question? What is deemed as technically challenging?
It almost doesn't matter if the project was challenging or not. There is a template to answer this type of question: 1. What was the challenge? (Could be something as silly as "legacy code with no test") 2. What did you do to overcome the challenge? ("I collected real world input to the system for a month, wrote tests, got to 85% test coverage") 3. What was the result? ("Not only I refactored the code, made it robust but also set up CI so that anyone can push changes without worrying about inadvertently breaking things") Silly example, I know. But it's the template that matters.

Throw some tech buzzwords and make up a complex story that the interviewer cannot understand.
One of the things I evaluate candidates on is how well and easily they can explain their work or what was hard about it, so don’t do this
Well if u try to simplify a ‘complex’ piece it certainly takes more than 5 minutes and then either u burn your coding time or the interviewer starts yawning. If u can simply state it within 5 minutes the task wasn’t complex enough in the first place.
