HRT algo dev loop, definitely not LeetCode

Nice, congrats on the offer. Good breakdown of the rounds too.
Any more detail on the system design round? Feels like the vaguest part of their whole loop from what I've seen mentioned.
Did the mid-day cut freak you out? Sitting through lunch not knowing if you're getting the afternoon rounds sounds brutal.
Ngl it was rough, I just tried to eat and not think about it too much. They told us pretty quick after lunch started so at least it wasn't a long wait.
How was the continuous time follow up on the watcher problem? That one always seems like it'd be a nightmare to explain out loud.
I got a version of this too on my phone screen, the segmenting by reversal timestamps thing took me a solid ten minutes just to wrap my head around.
Congrats! I had the same buffer parser type OA a while back, felt way more like a systems class exam than an algo test lol.
