Conway's Game of Life Interview
The most bizarre coding interview I've ever done was at Facebook when as usual I asked a candidate to write in any language of their choice.. And they nonchalantly said "I'll write it in Conway’s Game of Life," to which I almost let loose a chuckle until... Drawing a square in a circle
A screenshot of a tweet about an extraordinary coding interview, with an abstract black-and-white animation showing a square being drawn inside a circle. The joke is that Conway’s Game of Life is normally a cellular automaton, not a conventional programming language, making the candidate’s choice seem absurdly difficult and unconventional. It is used as a reaction to impressive, overengineered, or unexpectedly clever technical solutions.
