blarnopre··on Ask HN: What's the biggest red flag you've encountered during a hiring process?
Remember that every company, like every interviewer, is trying to put their best foot forward during the interview process.

Copy from somewhere else something that is close to what you want and modify it.

You can do it. Start embarrassingly small and stack tiny successes on each other to the moon
