Hard to take advice from an article with a ton of typos.
The interview process seems to favor CS grads who memorize academic exercises and algorithms. It doesn't seem to take into account if you can actually produce a product and write maintainable code. I don't see the point as you can Google just about any solution during the work day, as needed, and real life work doesn't require you to write galaxy-scale algorithms within a 30 minute deadline.
- dan-robertson 7y agoI think the author is just not a native English speaker. The typos seem pretty consistent (eg the author thinks chance is spelled change) and there are some grammar errors and unidiomatic phrases but I don’t think it’s particularly difficult to read or that the errors should imply the article is bad. My guess is that the article is a translation to English of an article in Spanish for Spanish-speakers (eg it talks about “international” startups)
- rafapaez 7y agoYou're right. I'm not a native English speaker. That's why I speak in Spanish in my videos. I wrote the article too quickly (which indeed is a summary of the video) and the grammar corrector wasn't very smart with the "changes" things. Thanks for pointing out the typos.
