You are given an m x n grid where each cell can have one of three values: 0 representing an empty cell, 1 representing a fresh orange, or 2 representing a rotten orange. Every minute, any fresh orange that is 4-directionally adjacent to a rotten orange becomes rotten. Return the minimum number of minutes that must elapse until no cell has a fresh orange. If it is impossible, return -1. For example, consider the following grid: [[2,1,1], [1,1,0], [0,1,1]] In this case, the function should return 4 because it takes 4 minutes for all the fresh oranges to rot. As another example, consider the following grid: [[2,1,1], [0,1,1], [1,0,1]] In this case, the function should return -1 because the orange in the bottom left will never rot. Here's how the rotting process would proceed in the first example: Initial state: [[2,1,1], [1,1,0], [0,1,1]] After 1 minute: [[2,2,1], [2,1,0], [0,1,1]] After 2 minutes: [[2,2,2], [2,2,0], [0,1,1]] After 3 minutes: [[2,2,2], [2,2,0], [0,2,1]] After 4 minutes: [[2,2,2], [2,2,0], [0,2,2]] All fresh oranges are now rotten after 4 minutes. Write a function to solve this problem efficiently. Consider edge cases such as an empty grid or a grid with no fresh oranges initially.

Let's say you've developed a new feature for a high-traffic e-commerce website. The feature allows users to save items to a wishlist. You've tested it thoroughly in your development environment, and it seems to be working perfectly. Now, you need to deploy this feature to the production environment, where thousands of users will interact with it simultaneously. Describe the steps you would take to safely and successfully deploy this feature to production.** What are the key considerations you'd keep in mind during each stage of the deployment process?** How would you monitor the feature's performance and identify potential issues after deployment?** What rollback strategies would you have in place if something goes wrong during or after the deployment?** For instance, would you use a blue-green deployment, canary release, or some other strategy? How would you handle database migrations, caching, and potential security vulnerabilities? What metrics would you track to ensure the feature is performing as expected and not negatively impacting the overall site performance? What tools would you use for monitoring and alerting? Finally, how would you communicate the deployment progress and any issues to stakeholders?

Let's discuss your strengths and weaknesses. Could you provide specific examples that highlight both your key strengths and areas where you are actively working to improve? Think about situations where your strengths significantly contributed to a positive outcome, and conversely, instances where your weaknesses presented a challenge. For instance, perhaps you excel at quickly learning new technologies, as demonstrated by your successful implementation of a novel machine learning algorithm for a recent project, resulting in a 15% performance improvement. On the other hand, you might find public speaking challenging, and you are addressing this by joining a Toastmasters club and practicing presentations regularly. Providing concrete examples like these will give me a better understanding of your capabilities and your commitment to continuous self-improvement.
