    When I interview people, I don’t care how they get an answer, I want to see that they can get to the answer, ideally the correct one, but it doesn’t matter if it’s wrong. I want them to show me their problem solving skills and that they understand their own solution.

    If you can read existing code and understand complexities you are already better than 80% of these hires.

      This is our approach when we ask what is system, out, and println in System.out.println(). Just talk it out. Look at capitalization.
