What Hiring Should Look Like

This is definitely not the first time I've written about this topic, but I haven't written formally about it in quite awhile. So I want to revisit why I think technical-position interviewing is so poorly designed, and lay out what I think would be a better process.

I'm just one guy, with a bunch of strong opinions and a bunch of flaws. So take these suggestions with a grain of salt. I'm sure there's a lot of talented, passionate folks with other thoughts, and some are probably a lot more interesting and useful than my own.

But at the same time, I hope you'll set aside the assumptions and status quo of how interviewing is always done. Just because you were hired a certain way, and even if you liked it, doesn't mean that it's a good interview process to repeat.

If you're happy with the way technical interviewing currently works at your company, fine. Just stop, don't read any further. I'm not going to spend any effort trying to convince you otherwise.

  // 1. Create array with roman numbers and arabic equivalents
  const decimalValue = [1000, 900, 500, 400, 100, 90, 50, 40, 10, 9, 5, 4, 1];
  const romanValue = ['M','CM','D','CD','C','XC','L','XL','X','IX','V','IV','I'];

  // 2. New variable that will be romanized number
  let romanized = '';

Strings

String.prototype.*

None of the string methods modify this – they always return fresh strings.

• charAt(pos: number): string ^ES1

  Returns the character at index pos, as a string (JavaScript does not have a datatype for characters). str[i] is equivalent to str.charAt(i) and more concise (caveat: may not work on old engines).

Here's an example of how to debug Mocha v4 if it hangs.

Ensure you're using a Node.js 8 or newer (or any version with async_hooks support).

If you run your test, you'll notice it hangs:

$ mocha test.js

const cluster = require('cluster');
const http = require('http');
const numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length;
const express = require('express');
var app = express();

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  console.log(`Master ${process.pid} is running`);

  // Fork workers.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.
