Interview
Talked about what I do and what classes I have taken before. Was pretty casual, the guy was a software developer (~5 years epxerience). We went into depth about everything on my resume before talking about the one question which he had. The question might seem easy, but to get it optimized requires a lot of thought and not rushing it.
