I won't spoil the take home technical assessment but it was fun and stress-free. It was a like a puzzle I enjoyed solving, instead of a timed, high-pressure, obscure leetcode question designed to make me pull my hair out.

2nd interview 1. a lot of annoying small questions - how does opensearch works - what is a lambda in aws - pros & cons - what is kafka, what are the main units of it and what is it used for - took 5 minutes to ask about a feature i worked on. didn't bother to listen and cut me off after a minute. - which qualities do you have that are good for managers? - what is the event loop (in the context of async.io)
