I bought this set of resistance bands and it's been great for doing not-gym at home workouts. the only problem is the product name is basically ungoogleable so I have to dig out the manual for the qr code if I want to look up something on their website.
Bombed more than one technical interview but here's one example.
Phone screen interview with Google. Interviewer asked about how I would keep track of the nth highest value in an infinite stream of values. I said I would use a heap. Then interviewer asked to me write the code for that heap in a Google Doc. I can't remember what I wrote, but I'm pretty sure that I barely got started. Boom.
Lesson here is that simply knowing something in general might not be enough. If you think you know something, try implementing it from scratch to be sure.

I guess at least you had Google Doc to presumably share with the interviewer... I remember a phone screen about 20 years ago where the guy asked me to write some C code (of course position wouldn't involve C...) and then repeat back over the phone character by character what I had written. I got through the phone screen and invited to an onsite, but the process was so utterly stupid that it pretty much permanently turned me off of that household name company in Seattle.
