Sometime around last year, I did a timed coding interview for a company. There will be two coding questions, 20 minutes for each question i guess. The interviewer will share the screen and they know exactly what you are typing in the IDE, it was like someone standing behind my back, when i am working.
I solved one problem and then when i am solving the next problem, Windows 10 update started to happen, the system got rebooted and i got nervous and forgot what i was doing, they came with a new laptop, had to start that problem again. The only good thing in that interview is they allowed me to search google for APIs.
