tc220 yoe 4.5 Am I allowed to prepare a boilerplate gradle project with dependencies like jackson, junit, feign, etc incase I need to use them? Someone from Stripe said that I'm relying too much on 'tooling' and shouldn't have to use a boilerplate project for the screen so wanted to ask if this is allowed or not. #tech
This is unofficial advice, etc etc. Go ahead and prepare that stuff. As an interviewer, I would have no problem with you using it if/when you need it.
Yeah, I had JUnit ready. I don't know how to write unit tests without it haha
Yes, I prepared all that. Made my life so much easier. I even added dependencies during interview.
I would give you thumbs up for being prepared
