That article isn't "better", they serve completely different purposes.
If you master everything in Yegge's article, but yet fail to show you know how to learn, lead, show ownership and humility, you'll still probably not get the job. And I'm sure this fact baffles a lot of technical experts out there who don't pass their Google interview.
Of course Yegge's advice is indispensable on the technical side. But Lazlo's advice is intentionally more broad than that.
- RogerL 13y agoI don't want to do what Yegge says. I can get a job in a few phone calls. Why should I go study a book for a month to be tested on a bunch of algorithms not pertinent to my field, to almost certainly be rejected even if I am (and I honestly think I am) a great fit? Why should I interview for a job, take all that time, experience that stress, when they won't even tell me what the position might be? No thanks.
