adamant interview on Shayan channel
By adamant, history, 3 weeks ago, In English

Hi everyone!

Shayan invited me for an interview on his YouTube channel, to which I agreed. The interview will be recorded, hopefully this weekend, and made available on Shayan's channel (hopefully) shortly after. If you have any questions that you'd like me to answer during the interview, please feel free to post them in the comments below or in Shayan's Discord server.

A bit of context about myself, in case you don't know yet:

  • I was born and raised in Zaporizhia (Ukraine), then I graduated Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology with Bachelors degree, then I worked at think-cell in Berlin, at Google in Munich and am now working as a Software Engineer at ETH Zürich.
  • I ranked top-1 Codeforces contributor at some point in time.
  • I'm an organiser of the Osijek competitive programming camp, and a maintainer of CP-Algorithms.
  • I've never participated in IOI or ICPC WF.
  • I'm currently 28 years old.

I'm looking forward to the interview and hope that you will enjoy it as well :)

what correlation have you found in competitive programming and software engineering? as being someone who worked at google, which is better to have? good algorithmic skills or good software engineering experience?
