Players welcome to the second game
We will begin shortly
What is it this time?
FANG?
The letters probably represent the top tech companies
It's missing another "A" though
Players before the second game begins
Choose one of the four companies you see on the wall
What's "A" here?
Is it Apple or Amazon?
It looks like they're not gonna tell us
I'd choose "A" if it was Apple
but I'm not taking the risk since it might be Amazon
Microsoft was never a part of FAANG
Players, please note that the N of FANG is replaced with the M of Microsoft
Yes!
This is because Netflix is simply too good for you
(sarcasm) Thank you
Once you have chosen your company
please stand in front of it
Facebook pays you the most out of all those companies
I'm here for the prize money
I'm going with Facebook
I'm the creator of cloud package management system Cloudbrew
90% of the engineers at Google use the software I wrote
Besides, Google's always been my dream company
This is the chance to show them what I'm capable of!
I'm a Software Engineer at Microsoft
Choose a company and stand in front of it immediately
The time to select your company has ended
I will now explain the rules of the game
All players, please take a box each from the table at the front of your line
No Windows machine again
Players you can now open the box
The second game is LeetCode (Reverse Linked List)
Whoa
Number of Islands
Oh man come on!
You must solve a LeetCode problem given by the company of your choice
Damn it!
Invert Binary Tree
The time limit is ten minutes
You have one attempt
You will pass if your submission passes
all test cases in LeetCode (Binary Tree Inorder Traversal)
You are free to choose any programming language
With that
let the game begin
There are two different ways to reverse a Linked List
Either I do it iteratively using a loop
or recursively using recursion
Success
Player 220 pass
I don't have much time
I'm going with recursion
Success
Player 200 pass
Solution
Copy
Code copied for Java
Paste
Cut
Paste
Here it goes
Success
Player 4 pass
Nice!
God damn it!
Think think!
No!
No no!
That's not fair!
I made Cloudbrew
You hear me?
I'm the creator of Cloudbrew!
90% of engineers at Google use the software I wrote!
LeetCode isn't an accurate measure of my technical skills
It's not the best indicator of my programming ability!
I can code
but not LeetCode
This isn't fair
This isn't fair!
(gunshot)
90% of engineers at Google use the software you wrote
but you can’t invert a binary tree
so...
fuck off
