Comment on Hacking the coding interview

Comments

"So you're interviewing at Google and lunch time comes around. Food is free so you eat way too much, especially carbs. Your post-lunch interview is a disaster since you have trouble focusing due to lethargy. True story."

Ha... I might have chosen the wrong cafeteria, but to me the food was a disappointment during my Google interview. The veggies were way too hard, I didn't like tacos, some of the meat looked indecipherable, and I was fumbling as I wondered whether there was a line, or whether I was looking stupid. I kinda wished there was NO free lunch.

I honestly can't tell whether the last sentence was intended to be a punchline or not. But if so, good job!

I think "free food" and "all you can eat" has the effect of making many people completely unreasonable in their eating habits.

The cafeteria near the gift shop wasn't too bad. I appreciated the hospitality :)
