Part of the interview process involved a take-home code-assignment (of course). This particular assignment is known as the Gilded Rose.</p> <p>The Gilded Rose isn’t a fizzbuzz. It’s not “Implement a Trie” in whatever language you want. The Gilded Rose is a problem that involves adding some functionality into the worst code that a developer could ever write. I don’t mean any offense to whoever created the Gilded Rose problem, bad code is entirely the intention! They want to see how you work through a terrible codebase to add new functionality.</p>
