I learned that working at Google pays a ton and not that hard to get in there. So I learned to code and got a job at Google and made a lot of money thanks to HN. My life got a lot easier thanks to that.
I feel the value of HN is greatly reduced once you are more familiar with the industry. But to an outsider this site is gold.
- dahx4Eev 6y agoAre there any sites that are gold for HNers?
- webdev93 6y agoHow is it not hard to get into Google? Sounds more like survivorship bias.
- username90 6y agoI'm really good at math so I knew that learning the algorithmic thinking wouldn't be hard. All I needed to do was learn to program and learn algorithms. For people with a different skillset it wouldn't be as easy, but reading about it online made me realize that it wouldn't be hard for me. I mean, when you read about interviews and the problems people struggle with you get a sense of what it is. When I read those I thought "That doesn't seem hard, I can do that!", so I did.
