# beyond-interviews # Beyond Interviews
## Real Engineering Problems
Interviews task discover ---
## What is this?
This project is about one simple question:
> Do typical coding interview problems reflect real engineering work?
Short answer: not really.
But instead of complaining about it, this project tries to **understand why**.
---
## Why this exists
Many interview processes rely on:
- LeetCode
- Codility
- algorithmic puzzles
These tasks are:
- abstract
- isolated
- time-pressured
Real engineering is not.
---
## What this project does
For each interview problem, we:
1. Look at the original task
2. Show the typical “interview solution”
3. Explain what it actually tests
4. Compare it with real-world engineering
5. Find (if possible) a real equivalent
---
## Core idea
There is a gap:
```
Interview problems ≠ Real engineering work
```
This project explores that gap.
---
## Not a rant
This is **not** about:
- complaining
- mocking interviews
- saying "everything is useless"
Instead:
- understand what these problems measure
- show where they help
- show where they dont
---
## Engineering focus
Special attention is given to **systems and embedded development**, where reality looks very different:
- imperfect data
- hardware constraints
- memory limits
- timing issues
- debugging real systems
---
## Repository structure
```
analysis/
01-.../
02-.../
```
Each analysis contains:
- explanation
- comparison
- conclusions
- sometimes code
---
## How to read this
Start with any analysis.
Each one answers:
> Would this problem appear in real engineering?
---
## Why it matters
Because solving puzzles ≠ building systems.
And understanding the difference makes you a better engineer.
---
## Status
Work in progress.
Problems are added when ready — no fixed schedule.
---
## Author note
This project started as a personal attempt to make interview preparation meaningful.
If it helps someone else — even better.
