I can relate to your sentiment but calling it " pseudo intellectualism" is a step too far in my opinion. The math behind FP is legit. Like Programming Language Theory it can teach you interesting abstractions. And useful basic th

True that. One particularly odd situation is common in data engineering circles. Most DE descriptions require something like "experience with Java/Scala/Python". Notice that one of them is from a completely different fam

Amazing how "Drill, baby, drill!" is still a relevant piece of advice after all those years. And you'll be able to give it in just three months.

Two weeks is not enough even to read something like https://www.amazon.com/Dynamic-Programming-Coding-Interviews... unless you are already unemployed. Also, some of us have practiced actually writing software for the last

Very much so. The leetcode charade was invented in the US (and even ten years ago it wasn't common). Nowadays it's the only way they do it here even in regular companies with unremarkable tech and benefits. The FAANGs brought this

I'm surprised by the paucity of opinions in favor of the hybrid approach. And not a single article discussed on HN so far provided any statistics. Your location alone is a huge factor. To say that commuting and offices in NYC are diffe

Using Java was a poor choice (especially without the latest improvements such as records and switch expressions): * new books should use more modern popular languages to age well and to attract younger audience * on the JVM there are langua

There are a lot of people on this forum (and most Bay Area companies) born in communist hell holes such as USSR or China. Go talk to them before saying stupid things about socialism and the level of poverty it forces upon people. And if you

In the last 20 years I have seen mostly ultra-fast depreciation of SE _interviewing_ skills. After the first ten years software development becomes quite intuitive and you internalize all those best practices. You can be trusted to start a

I agree with your sentiment but question some of your examples: * Scala introduced us old Java hands to a whole different world of modern languages. If you know it you get Kotlin or the latest Java changes for free (probably TypeScript-like

I have seen a particular flavor of it mentioned a few times. There are people who like having noise in the background. Typically in older generations and lower classes it's not music or intentionally selected podcasts. Instead, they ke

They do it to White people throughout the country. They make no difference between White Americans and European-Americans. They ignore the differences among people from a huge continent spanning Western, Central, Eastern Europe, and the Sla

Tell it to former USSR citizens (btw with the exception of education your list describes that country perfectly). Everyone was poor but it didn't make everyone a criminal. Millions of suddenly impoverished middle class people in the 90

NOBODY? How about anybody who cares for the future of their people or the stability of their society? Forcing women to work is arguably the root of most social ills in the last two generation.

How realistic or common is it to mix C# and F# in one code base? As an example, even though Java and Scala run on the same JVM their ecosystems have mostly diverged. In contrast to the Scala situation F# has been officially supported by MSF

I once worked on a system that included a SQL-ish interpreter (starting from an ANTLR-based parser and all the way to distributed plan execution). I don't remember discussing it in interviews in the last five years. Even at places such

"is not developed by analogy" is such a strange thing to say. Technology evolves in generations. The mistakes and lessons of one lead to the next. For example, in the sequence of C -> C++ -> Java -> Scala/Kotlin it&#

As much as I agree with your advice in general my interviewing experience is completely the opposite. To begin with reading algo books/being aware of the topics you mentioned doesn't necessarily translate to solving leetcode _puzz

The way this is phrased gives a bad name to those mythical enterprise/old/Java developers. I personally don't want to be associated with this stereotype, I have another 20 years of interviews in the future. I started programm

It's factually correct though you need to replace "can" with "will", especially in states like CA. Make no mistake, the discrimination is systemic. So it's not just you who is unlucky and you won't find a
