The heartbeat SD question came up for me too during my phone screen, seems like a recurring one for them.

Ouch, LFU with tie breaking in whatever time is left after LRU sounds brutal. Had something similar happen to me on a different loop, ran out of steam right at the end.

Curious how the access control round went, did you go DFS or something else for the nested groups part?

Didn't even get that far honestly, we spent most of the time on heartbeat first.

NDA culture makes it hard to get a full picture before going in, appreciate you sharing what you could.

Did they give you the LFU follow up as a separate ask or just extend LRU mid round? Trying to get a sense of the pacing.

Same round, they just kept building on it once LRU was done. No break in between.

Rough way to go out after 4 rounds. Their loss I guess, sounds like you handled most of it fine.
