Just like landings have become routine, it appears manned dragon launches are boring now too. There are news articles but buried at the bottom of pages. No one here is discussing it and honestly not even much in the main sub either. Just thought it was curious!

This sub is dedicated to discussion and questions about embedded systems: "a controller programmed and controlled by a real-time operating system (RTOS) with a dedicated function within a larger mechanical or electrical system, often with real-time computing constraints."
I recently got a coding assessment for a sensor firmware position at SpaceX and pretty much bombed it. I wanted to outline what the assessment was and to ask if it seems more like a “Leet Code” type question or if you think it was something that is good to vet for a position like this?
Some additional background. I had an initial phone screen to talk about my background and work history with the recruiter and then moved on to a technical phone screen with the team manager and a senior engineer. That phone screen was very good in that both asked probing questions about basics of bare-metal development and also a good bit on signal processing, filtering, and sampling since it was very relevant for their teams job of sensor development. Both interviewers were asking really good questions and I felt like I was being asked about stuff relevant for the job. I thought I had bombed that part because I only vaguely knew about the signal processing stuff way back from uni days but seemed to do well enough that I got the take home assessment.
The take home assessment itself was coding done in either C or C++ (your choice). It was a gene sequencing program where you’re given a file that contains a long sequence of nucleotides (A, T, C, G) along with spaces, new lines, other irrelevant characters or numbers. You need to read the file, detect the start codon (ATG), process it codons following that start codon until you hit an end codon (3 possible codon combinations, I forget what they were). As you’re reading and processing the gene you need to translate the codons to the appropriate amino acid (you’re given a translation table in the problem statement and can also look it up online) and basically construct the protein (amino acid combination, another series of letters/characters) based on each three letter codon with in an appropriate gene (defined by a proper start and end codon). Then the final output should be the protein, the gene sequence (with start and end codons) that it got translated from (and there could be one or more genes with slightly different codons that map to the same protein so you need to list all of them), and the number of times that protein appears.
All of this should work within O(N2) time. And you’re given 6 hours to complete the program with the first hour given to write up a plan for how you’re going to code it and estimate the big-O performance.
I chose to do it in C and build up a linked list of the full sequence and then do a one time traversal through that linked list and build out another linked list of the protein, associated gene(s), and gene count….and botched it badly because of confusion with managing the multiple linked lists head node. (One big take away for me is that my C coding really needs to be stepped up).
My question (from before) is do you guys think this is more of a “Leet Code” style question or something that is fair for a primarily bare-metal position? (I even asked about RTOS use and they said it’s not as much).
I’m not complaining about this as it was pretty fun honestly and at least I know I need a lot more work on my C now. But I wanted to get other peoples thoughts on this.

I sometime think the long term prospect of SpaceX.
Many thing can happen in long term. Even though we do not want it, and god forbid, there could be a astraunauts launch fail. As they have really high launch manifest, it also increases the probability of a launch failure.
Elon could die in accident or may decide to retire. There might be some event like boeing or something else.
What do you think will happen in 20 years time frame? Many big company/industry leader died over long term. Do you think SpaceX will be around long term?
