It isn't impressive to spend a lot of time on a hiring problem, you shouldn't do that. If you can't do it in a few hours then just move on and apply for another job, you aren't the person they are looking for. Doing it s

Because chess is more unrelated to the job? It is easy to see that LeetCode problems are closer to a programmers job than what chess is. But yeah, people used to ask that level of unrelated questions to programmers, and they were happy with

That is valid though, if someone says "It hurts when I walk" its not reasonable to tell them to not walk, you try to figure out why it hurts and if it can be fixed. Other languages has similar package managers as npm, but with muc

Isn't it you who is hyping up Apple here when you don't even compare the two using similar architecture? Compare a 5nm AMD laptop low power cpu to Apple M1 and the M1 no longer looks that much better at all.
