The technical interview was a little bit awkward, the examiner had bad internet, I had to ask almost every question again.

Because of the bad connection, the camera was also off. When your skills are assessed in this way, it seems like the examiner is doing some routine thing and not interested in hiring some talent to the company.

In the interview, I was asked to write a function to count the number of letters in a string. After completing the task, the interviewer requested that I redo it using the Stream API.

But why would one choose this approach? In this case streams would have unnecessary complexity, reduced readability and, for sure, no performance advantage.
