The first interview in a series went well, and I felt I had a great rapport with the interviewer. The job sounded interesting.

Next was a coding challenge. I didn't finish the second part, which involved some insane task of counting a pattern within an alphanumeric string.

That was the end of the process because of the coding test. Companies that use that as a metric to drop someone from the interview process are just doing it wrong.

Anyways, I'm happy where I landed, but I do love Slack as a product.

What situation have you been in where you had to communicate that you could not deliver what your product team asked you to make?
