Welcome to your interview.

The question is on your right: Hard vs Soft Links. Take a moment with it first.

Talk your thinking through with me if you like - when you're confident, submit your answer and I'll grade it like a real screen (7/10 or better passes). Discussion and graded submissions share your five interviewer interactions, so spend them well.

Problem

Explain the difference between a hard link and a soft link in Linux, and describe a scenario where using one over the other matters.
