Positive ExperienceNo Offer

Process

The recruiter reached me on LinkedIn, and we had a conversation about my background. After that, they arranged a one-hour phone screen. During the screen, there were two interviewers who asked me several coding problems. After the phone screen, they seemed satisfied with my answers and decided to proceed with onsite interviews. The onsite interviews consisted of five rounds: two coding rounds, one design round, one project discussion, and one with the manager.

Questions

There are requirements from the engineers that they want to limit the rights to code files in a Git server by marking the owner of each file. How would you design the system to solve this problem? What if the user wants to use regex when configuring the owner of files?

How to apply the function of finding a string in the text of the Vim editor?
