Got the Lyft offer, onsite had a query pagination design problem I hadn't seen before

how long did you actually spend just writing test data vs solving it? curious how much time that ate into the round
anyone know if the sd donation platform question comes up for every onsite or just sometimes? seems to get mentioned a lot here
congrats on the offer, this is a solid writeup
the write your own test cases thing seems pretty common for lyft rounds, ran into the same thing on my phone screen a while back
yeah I've seen a few people mention that same pattern, feels like it's more about time management than the actual problem
nice, congrats
did they want you to actually sketch out an index structure for the memory follow up or was talking through partitioning enough? that part sounds like the real filter tbh
mostly just wanted the reasoning out loud, I sketched a rough idea of partitioning by time bucket but never got to actual code for it
what was your phone screen question, if you don't mind me asking?
