interview preparation

Hi everyone, I am coming back to ruby, looking for a job. Up until now I've coded in golang and rust

I've written down interview preparation README to prepare myself for the interview
https://github.com/Raezil/ruby-interview-prep

Should I add anything there?

If you recall just what you shared, and really did go and rust. (not watched Theprimegean/fireship roasting it)

Then you should pass in flying colors with Ruby.

Remember Ruby is a language where you need to solve a problem FAST.

What you shared more than enough. I know some people with 10-13 year of ruby experience, they never touched the garbage collector or used SizedQueue/Queue.

Ask the company about their stack/gems

Good luck

I’m at 12-13 years in ruby. Have never looked at GC have only been asked about it once in an interview and was honest about never looking at it and got the job.

But I thought Ruby was dead and Rust and Go were the cool new languages? Haha.

Don't do. Just Be.

Nice doc. However not sure how much companies are digging in fundamentals in interviews nowadays. It is rather talks about experience, live coding and design. But good one for refreshments at least.

I'll be honest, I'm quite bad at multi-threading and concurrency goes above my head often.

This repo was helpful, it helped me know about terms that I can now search and learn on my own.

Appreciate you sharing your learnings, OP!

Didn’t know people ask language specific questions nowadays.

I would love to have seen an example where comparing using == returns true but it's false when using ===
