> no compilation, no running code

I recently had an interview where, for the first time, the coding round was Coderpad based, which allowed me to run my code and build my solution bit by bit with instantaneous feedback.

I know for sure that I wouldn't have been able to solve that recursion problem without that live terminal. I now am going to insist on this live terminal in all of my future interviews and refuse to do any that don't employ one.

I think it helps my anxiety immensely.
