I have a whiteboarding challenge coming up in 3 days, thanks for telling me what all topics and headings I can touch, no matter what the problem statement is

[@venkatagowrinath]

Update on your interview?

[@eusoumateusrocha]

How did it went????

[@chrisgordon8486]

Thanks for sharing. I’d be shocked if this passed if it was real, no real collaboration, and choosing the elderly non tech savvy as the people for a smart lock product didn’t make sense.

pin code activation within family members could be better , which follow alert / notification on mobile phone or connected device at real time . example : john unlock door so the other family member know john unlock the door and how many try he did on pin code , and if pin code exceeds limitation, the door locked and can only be re-activate using backup code or disable from the linked system

Super helpful information and very useful...I could stand to never hear the word "like" again though. It's like the word "um". Try to avoid it.

[@saeidtaheri3638]

Really informative, thanks for sharing.

[@shortvidsyt859]

Insightful & Great presentation

What is the measurement for the below situation: 1. If it's dark and face recognition is not detecting user face. 2. The power shuts off with the wifi network suddenly

[@jingwang4588]

This s super useful!

[@beetlejuss]

What happened to actually ask the users of the product or at least check the reviews of the product instead of just assumptions?

[@bryxxdore4150]

Nice like video Like on whiteboarding I think like clear communication is like not like that like important like for clearing like interview

[@AnnaAnnaOneTwo]

Which tool is being used for wireframing?

[@tryexponent]

Hey AnnaAnnaOneTwo, the tool is called Excalidraw!

💯✨

Good effort, but bad execution. You need to either speak directly with the user or consult the research team. Rule number one at Stanford and Y Combinator: never assume-always talk to the user directly. Clearly, this is a test of how much can you ramble in an interview. Again, good effort and thanks for sharing but don't do this.

[@Iswhars]

this is a whiteboarding session. assumptions are supposed to made.

[@TrickyPasta]

This guy starts assuming a ton of stuff without really asking the interviewer any questions... He's talking like he's the client, when he's the actual designer... He also parrots on "what is smart" for a good 2 minutes... super redundant information that the interviewer already knows. Part of a good interview process is to assume that the inteviewer was at least some basic assumptions. Not as if the interviewer is 5 years old and you need to explain everything to them. It's a massive waste of your time and theirs.

damn furquan is hella fine

[@japanboy31415]

that aint gonna get him a job

[@jdd5333]

Sorry, but I don't think this was very good. This is about product design, so what about communication protocols, what type of data is transmitted, where is the infrastructure, what gets sent to the cloud, what type of data is stored... so many better ways to communicate how to design a product. There was far too much time spent on the ideation -- and you left out several use cases such as "dog walker" or package delivery... I think this could've been much better.
