Interview Process
During my phone screen with Roblox, I was asked to implement a rate limiter. The interviewer explained the problem and gave me a few minutes to think. I proposed using a sliding window algorithm for maintaining the count of requests in a specific time frame. After discussing edge cases like burst requests, I added a cooldown feature. We then reviewed the solution together, and the interviewer provided feedback on further optimizations. Overall, it was a constructive conversation and I enjoyed the experience!
