Algorithmic complexity: when does it matter?

I watched an interesting video the other day about the coding interview process at Google. I don’t know how accurate of a representation this is (the problem seems a bit easy), but it was interesting non the less. They have the following question:  read full post

Creating and publishing a simple NuGet package
