it’s not a good thing to refuse to hire older people and most older people do not pass leetcode without significant grinding

for me cracking the coding interview is stressful i prefer the bug squash question. i have 20 years of experience. i will probably do well. a fresh grad might fail. do i care? no. leetcode has benefited fresh grads and is being used to disc

people say a lot of things. observe what they do. also they don’t know what they want. they only know what they don’t want.

have you considered that at some point it might make your kid feel inadequate? i think when talking about success stories it is important to sketch the complete picture of someone’s life including what didn’t go so well … too often we only

You should not need customers to get accepted. If you do then i’m not sure i understand what YC is about.

What did you expect? I think the disconnect between what CS programs teach and how the real world operates is growing. Look at how the hiring process is broken. Anyone with a good CS degree should pass through that process. However, even if
