I'm just imagining interviewing a candidate for a job involving embedded systems and this dude pulls this out at the end and says "If you have any other questions, my email's right on there."

What an absolute baller this guy is.

Still has to respond "no" on the post interview scorecard because the given solution didn't use the optimal ObscureLeetCodeAlgorithm

I mean, the candidate can design and build innovative custom hardware, but do they remember an obscure impractical algorithm from a second semester CS course? No? Obviously not a fit for this company.

(This assumes that the guy passed through the resume filters and advanced to the in-person stage, which is not that easy. Should work on a video call though.)
