Junior Python interview: 3 lines of code and basics

A mock interview for the role of Junior Python Developer.
We discuss data types, `bool`, `int`, memory, number systems and the basics of computer science. At the end, there’s an unexpected live coding session that revealed the main issue: it wasn’t syntax, but a fundamental understanding of Python.
