Got this in my Affirm phone screen:
Just a heads up, they didn’t give the whole thing at once. Intro/company chat itself took 20+ mins, then the coding started, and later they added a follow-up with more requirements.
Logic wasn’t too hard, but the question is long and has a bunch of cases to handle.
Probably worth asking upfront if there’s a follow-up so you can pace yourself.

that pacing tip is actually super useful for these long prompts

twenty minutes of chat before coding feels brutal tbh

Only 30 min to finish the code. Did you pass this round?
