In my experience, I have to fight to keep my devs from over engineering their solutions and just get something going.

In practice tho, the grass is always greener on the other side. You either wish the developer had just hacked something to get it going, when the feature failed, or you wished they had put more effort to make it more abstract and scalable, when the feature set for scaling.

Everyone's a genius on hindsight. Getting it right is more of a mix of experience, gut feel and luck imo.

Oh man. Was planning on using Auth0. Never heard of Okta, but reading the comments in here has confirmed my suspicion of the company's core value. Now I'm having doubts.

It's a programming "test" right? Sometimes I wonder if it's better to solve the problem in isolation, to show that I can sit on a problem and go at it, or to solve it in a collaborative manner with the interviewer, to show I'd play well in a team.

Sometimes when I read people saying the end goal is not to solve the problem weird. Does that mean those who solved the problem alone by losing a few hairs actually scored worse than an outspoken candidate who solved it with help from the interviewer?
