the kitchen is for a giraffe?
are you doing drugs? 😉

@heyheni is google a goo glee?

This reminds me of just the other day. I was using Google Translate just to type out some Japanese words in hiragana, and as I typed it tried to translate the text to English... emphasis on "tried", because it turned out sounding more like some abstract haiku.

What the hell did you do to that giraffe? All of a sudden theirs a baby one

@C0D4 what happenes in the kitchen stays in the kitchen

@TCPizza this deeply explains the new kitchen

@C0D4 indeed it does

Oh jeez. Manhole cover is still a thing in 2019! 🤦‍♂️

You *have* to read between the lines with these sorts of questions. They weren't looking for you to design a kitchen at all. They were looking to see how you approached the problem.

If I'm ever asked any ridiculous question in an interview like this, the first thing I do is always, always clarify requirements. So I would have come back with a whole barrage of questions like:

- Who is this kitchen for?
- What will they use the kitchen for? What facilities do we need?
- Who will build it? What skills to they have?
- How much time have we got to build the kitchen?
- What size should the kitchen be?

Then, when I'd ascertained that the kitchen would be used by upside down baby giraffes on drugs, had to contain 10 microwaves, we had a day to build it and it needed to fit within 2 square feet, I'd say:

"I don't think I can design a kitchen with those specifications. I don't have enough expertees on drugged giraffe's. I'd need to do a lot of research first, then get back to you."

I actually got an interview invitation of googles EU datacenter part, rejected it though.

Hope you'll get it!

13. And use Test Driven Development

WHT IS GOING ON

@xalys have you head of the Mario shroom?

Is it just me or has Google been heavily recruiting lately? Received an invitation for it a while back, haven't done anything with it though.
