I've done that (maybe it was fizzbuzz, now that I'm thinking about it) and boy howdy does that get the people you're interviewing with agitated.

If I'm reinventing the wheel writing algorithms, something is terribly wrong" shuts them up, but doesn't make them any happier.
what does and container orchestration architect do ? Something like this cluster should use envoy and Prometheus. The new clusters rate isn’t usually high enough for the stack to change.
Real question I love these non conventional (swe, sre, pm, manager ) roles in tech
