Yeah, having public github repos is great, but it doesn't scale when the company has a bunch of candidates waiting AND the interviewers have some other work to get done. Also, don't forget that communication is a part of the job too. If you're so introverted that you can't reason your way through a 45-minute problem that has a clearly defined "good" answer, how are we going to discuss designs for an actual system?


> the interviewers have some other work to get done

Work they'd otherwise be doing during the 3-hour coding interview?


1) wrong to assume that you'll be interviewing with the same person for 3 hours

2) if they're doing something not related to your interview during your interview, you don't want to work with them anyway
