Common Web Developer Interview Questions And Answers

I’ve done a lot of interviews and I want to add a few points about nervousness (As discussed in the beginning of the post):<p>1. 99.99% of candidates sound extremely nervous for the first few minutes. That’s fine. I think most interviewers expect it. Both the interviewer and the interviewee want to calm down, and a few min of introductory chat seems to help most people.<p>2. If I notice a candidate is nervous in the middle of a technical question, I try to say something to calm them down. Often people seem super nervous while doing well&#x2F;sometimes people confidently do badly — Point is that nerves are not a sign that the candidate is bad, but rather a sign the candidate might be able to do better&#x2F;be happier if they were calmer.<p>3. At least if you were interviewing with me, I’d hope candidates who feel too nervous tell me they are nervous. Maybe other interviewers wouldn’t take kindly to this, but if it leads to better&#x2F;happier hiring then I’m all for it. FWIW this has only happened a handful of times in my career.

Example of a fibonacci recursion implemented in exponential time just after mentioning big-O notation? Looks just like one of those articles written by a copy-writer who knows nothing about programming and created the article by reading some similar articles thinking he understands it all now<p>If I were interviewing someone, I would expect the linear solution and from a CS graduate would at least expect mentioning the logarithmic one..
