so I accidentally obliterated the triplebyte quiz - what now?

I was flipping through levels dot fyi when their site hard 302’d to triplebyte and lets be real I was looking at levels for a reason so I was fine like fuck it and shove this quiz up your ass etc etc just clicked through it out of spite zero fucks given but I apparently did so good at it that they want me to skip some random two hour screen and go straight to on-sites?? something about being in the top 2% of something or other. that cant be right though, right? like it was all simple reasonable stuff right? like are these dudes gonna conpletely waste my time or can I chalk this one up as a legitimate win? assuming the “what who are you?” call goes well, what should I expect? has anybody else been in this situation before?

This happens. They called me on a telephone using a human. I was confused. Apply at the non-triplebyte companies too. I ended up at Google after some studying.

that’s the thing though all the questions were stuff like implement finding the max value or what’s caching for or how do you do high performance writes and just stuff a software engineer should plausibly know

You can give random answers to the TripleByte quiz and still be told you're in the top 10%. The induction quiz is frankly bullshit. It's for lead gen, not a filter.

yeah ok, gotcha and yeah that’s the thing, ego boost aside I worry that it’s a wide net and that it’s gonna be stupid like the time someone convinced me to fuck with hired 🙃 i’d be down if I could speak to some actually competent people that want to fucking ship software but none of these bullshit startups in a closet at a wework
