SWE Intern Interview Experience - New York, New York

Process
I applied online.
First round interview, 60 minutes:
- Mostly technical (not standard LC, iterative design question, clean code prioritized over efficiency)
- 10 minutes at the end to ask questions
Interviewer was very friendly. Didn't pass to second round as I don't think I completed enough iterations, expected to think fast.
Questions
Design a code editor (i.e., filling out given functions, not the whole system) to track blocks of code, then follow up with iterations to support things like code folding.
