LeetCode Medium Asked by Girlfriend's Dad

Leetcode medium asked by girlfriend dad I and my gf live in SF. We went to meet my gf family in Seattle. My gf dad is principal engineer at Msft. It was dinner time. We started with casual conversation about tech jobs and stuff. From there we started talking about interview process and out of nowhere he asked me how i would solve an array question. He acted like it was casual conversation but I could see how he was evaluating my answer. Initially I was taken back a little but then I got hold of my senses. After all I have years of LC experience. This was day to shine. I started answering with brute force solution followed by optimal solution. Talked about time and space complexity. In the end he was somewhat satisfied. They are asking us to visit again during Christmas break. I wonder if I should prepare for system design.

A screenshot of a Blind post describes a software engineer meeting his girlfriend’s family in Seattle, where her father— a principal engineer at Microsoft—casually asks him to solve a LeetCode array problem during dinner. The joke is that the supposed family meeting becomes an intense technical interview, so the poster wonders whether to prepare for system design before the next visit.
