I happen to have read her book on Cracking the Coding Interview which I found was a nice refresher for interview-type like questions. She writes:
> And for all of this I still blunder my way through an exercise to write a function which returns a boolean in response to the question of whether sequence A is a sub-sequence of sequence B. I still draw a blank when asked what the magnitude of complexity is for the guests function I just wrote
which I have a hard time believing as she covers this in a whole chapter of her own book. Clearly she knows how to do this stuff, given that she wrote the book herself.
My guess is that either the (US) market is currently facing a recession which has hit the dev market as well by now or she is somewhat of a generalist with no deep knowledge of a specific area and the companies she were interviewing for are searching for a specialized person rather.
