On: Go will use pdqsort in next release

[pdpi]

If you’re hiring, and your candidate produces a solution to a real problem, and your interviewers actually want to use their solution, that person is getting an offer unless they were absolutely obnoxious and terrible to work with. Failure to do so is just bad recruitment.

Or, put differently: if I’m the candidate and they end up “stealing” my solution, that’s a small price to pay to avoid working in what is likely a terrible environment.

[foobiekr → pdpi]

That assumes the interviewer is ethical. In my experience, most people in SW do not have a strong cultural basis for ethical behavior of this sort.
