I have the technical pair programming interview for a backend developer intern role scheduled soon. Since it’s not leetcode style, how would you suggest practicing for it? What type of questions should i expect?
I got leetcode game of life
Make sure you practice using your favourite IDE, and don't forget to wirte/run test cases
yes thats a good idea, i heard that shopify is big on tdd
I barely prepared and did fairly well (15 YOE + little kids, which means I've forgotten all my algorithms and don't have time to practice them). It involved parsing a CSV file and doing a fairly simple algorithm with it. The hardest part was balancing how I'd do it in the real world vs. getting it done quickly in an interview context. Acknowledging this tension was well received. You'll probably be sharing your screen, so make sure you can execute code locally.
It’s pretty easy, just communicate well. It’s problem solving, sort of leetcode-esque but more real world.
do you have any example of the type fo question
