Interview with Confidence
summary
Interview guidance focused on concrete habits: an explicit 10-step interview routine (ask clarifying questions, try a sample input, list edge cases, prioritize, implement a minimal working piece, iterate), the claim that interviewers prefer candidates to succeed, and the warning to never copy‑paste code without understanding it. Recommends practicing problems regularly (one per week or daily if active), doing mock sessions to improve think out loud skills, breaking work into small milestones, and favoring simple, finished solutions over flashy new tech.
