Update on me waiting for a call from the codesmith folks: They asked me to schedule a second interview

You don't have to pseudo necessarily, are they telling you that? This is the Formation method. (disclosure: I'm the co-founder there but I am not soliciting you to join or anything, we work with people much farther along in their journeys - after bootcamps and after working, just a relevant resource to help you) [https://formation.dev/blog/the-engineering-method/](https://formation.dev/blog/the-engineering-method/) We don't have the word pseudo code anywhere in there, but we also don't suggest to start writing final code until later in the process.
