Interviews for coders often come with a coding challenge, using platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. These challenges ask you to solve coding problems in a language of your choice, to show what algorithms and data structures you know, and highlight how you solve problems. Love them or hate them, being able to solve these kinds of challenges is becoming a part of interviewing for your next job. In this episode, ‪@jimbobbennett‬ is joined by Dr Sarah Kaiser, a Senior Developer Advocate for Python at Microsoft for 'scientific pythony things', and someone who has literally controlled space lasers from python. In the previous episod …...more

Crack code interview problems in Python EP2
Interviews for coders often come with a coding challenge, using platforms like LeetCode or HackerRank. These challenges ask you to solve coding problems in a language of your choice, to show what algorithms and data structures you know, and highlight how you solve problems. Love them or hate them, being able to solve these kinds of challenges is becoming a part of interviewing for your next job. In this episode, ‪@jimbobbennett‬ is joined by Dr Sarah Kaiser, a Senior Developer Advocate for Python at Microsoft for 'scientific pythony things', and someone who has literally controlled space lasers from python. In the previous episode, Jim was joined by Jay Miller and they tried to implement a Sudoku board validator in #python, the number 2 programming language according to the GitHub state of the Octoverse report. Unfortunately they didn't get very far as they were too busy chatting to the audience. In this episode, Jim tries this problem again with Sarah, and once again gets nowhere as they had too much fun chatting with the audience and geeking out. Expect lots of thoughts on our first programming languages, tech interviews, coding in Python, different approaches to problems and more! 00:00 - Welcome! 00:39 - Introducing Sarah -   / crazy4pi314   02:50 - Python with frickin' laser beams!
