This is my submission for Atmos Take home test. Thank you Matt and Atmos team for your consideration. It's been fun thinking about the challenge. The original problem statemnt can be found below. I answered the questions at the top of the compatible.py file in a string literal. Hopefully you enjoy reading through my thoughts and they are coherent enough to understand without a whiteboard. It is an incomplete solution in terms of edge cases and being optimal but I wanted to adhere to the rough timeline guide.

Finger Crossed!

Atmos has to find out where we will place a home on a lot in our 3D models. The first part of this process is checking whether the home fits on the lot at all. In this challenge, we want to know whether a given home and a given lot are "compatible", ie. whether the home can fit within the lot.

Imagine a 2D grid with a width and length of 100 units. Homes have a rectangular "building footprint" of the form: "[width, length]". Lots have "boundaries", an array of coordinates that form a rectilinear polygon (straight lines and right angles only) of the form: "[(x, y), (x, y), ...]".

Create a function isCompatible() that receives a home's footprint and a lot's boundaries, and returns whether the home is compatible with the lot.

The prompt may be ambiguous on some parts - that's intentional! We want you to make reasonable assumptions when faced with ambiguity. We won't judge you on the details; we're more interested in seeing your general approach. Also, feel free to search up anything you'd like; as a hint, there are general mathematical solutions to this problem and its variants.

In real life, lots have "setbacks", which are buffer zones within a lot's boundaries that determine how much space must exist between the lot boundaries and the home. Think of them as "padding" in CSS.

Assuming setbacks are the same for every side of a lot, specified as an integer in units, incorporate setbacks into the isCompatible() function.

Please answer the following questions in your submission: What improvements would you make if you were to start over again? In real life, lots are unfortunately not rectilinear - they can be of any general shape. With this in mind, how would you change your approach to determine where a home could fit on a lot?
