Interviews Interviews Interviews

I had my first real interview today. The company was great and definitely the most competent interviewers I have talked to in a while. I was not great. Before the interview I did not know that I freeze up on technical questions, now I do. By the the worst was the pseudocode question. In order to traverse a tree and create a list of children quantities, I wrote out some huge complex function using accumulators and sums and realized halfway through I was solving the wrong problem and floundered and produced something truly non-understandable. Of course, as soon as I was out the door I realized the correct solution.
fun n = length n.children : map (fun) n.children
Live and get better at answering technical questions I guess.
