Process
Very pleasant first-round Pair Programming session: design a URL shortener.
Coded with the interviewer and discussed code, tradeoffs, etc.
The test was open book, so I could use any resources.
We then discussed how to extend and test the code to ensure thoroughness in a production environment.
Questions
Design URL shortener, any language.
