Cascading the Technical Interview

Introducing… drum roll… whiteboard.guide! You should check it out!

You could say that it’s a guide to whiteboard interviews. At the very least, it’ll teach you how to do FizzBuzz. Kinda.

(And you can also check it out the source code, but be warned — it’s pretty gross.)

I know I said I made a thing, but really, I only made a small contribution on top of several amazing pieces of prior art. First and foremost, the conceit of the post came from Kyle Kingsbury’s “---ing the Technical Interview” series, especially “Rewriting the Technical Interview”. I knew I wanted to pay homage to the series somehow, and doing gross things with web technologies seemed like a great start.

As for the weird live-coding presentation of the story, a lot of that is inspired by Samuel Reed’s personal site, which is in turn inspired by the work of Jake Albaugh.
