- asked about a recent project, some superficial questions related to it - asked how would I find bottlenecks in apps - asked what happens when a user presses Enter in a browser after entering url - as the additional question was how does browser render the server response - implemented a very basic algorithm task in the online editor, but didn't ask about Big O or anything like that, just that it works and it is ok.
