Seems like a flawed system. I would just use a fake profile or say I only used CTCI as prep.

This experience varies too much for the individual. I've been given almost no leeway with all of my interviews. Most of my peers are in a similar bucket but I will admit - I seem to get some of the worst experience out of my peer gro

The issue isn't telling people about basic things like you learn in a CS major - it's about taking random problems and solving them on a whiteboard without any errors (syntactically or otherwise) while explaining the solution, alt

I've worked at decacorns that used code freezes... Usually they were last minute "oh fuck we took down the whole website 3 days in a row now and this has cost millions of dollars" kinda reactions. The reason they had to do co

Are we talking about the same thing? Most are talking about Leetcode - which is a separate skill from the job and requires months of dedicated practice. I haven't seen any engineer managers pass the usual litany of tests that ICs get.

Funny - I assume the opposite because they're spending their time at a charger rather than plugging it in at home. If they can't charge at home - that probably means they don't have a home but maybe an apartment without a gar

I wouldn't be surprised if this is because of the trip cap thing that Menlo Park has - which seems purely aimed at Facebook to collect tax revenue. https://almanacnews.com/news/2019/05/01/facing-trip

I doubt he had any regrets as long as his boss was happy with his decision. Very few people give a shit if something is cost effective, ethical, or even intelligent to do if their boss is happy with the decision or they’re able to placate t

This definitely has some nostalgia from the good ol’ days going on or something… It was not uncommon to see the same ad in a single hour of content. I’d see the exact same ads for years when watching tv. Did you forget when shows would st

Agree... The diversity runs about skin deep and that's it. Most people in their 20s and 30s are still children of rich/UMC parents. Very few people I have met in SV are from lower class families. Socioeconomically - it's a wi

For many people out there - that is their singular computer. I know many people who don't own laptops or desktops anymore - just a phone.

As one of those people - being hard working vs not has little to no influence on this outcome tbh. Whether we IPO’d and got 7-fig TC was more due to market forces, our exec team, and some other noise. Whether the engineers got something del

Having had to rebuild carbs only like 20 times and fiddle with fuel mixture a hundred more… I’ll take a hard pass on this. This is heavily romanticized. It’s a complete PITA and if you are unlucky enough to not have adjustable enough carbs

Face is a pretty big deal. If you have model looks - many women can overlook other attributes. But again - should we use something that is innately genetic and unchangeable as a means for “compensating”? You’re not even ripped. You just say

The ones I’ve seen in Paris don’t use a wheel but instead use a hefty metal roller. It’s a bit unintuitive at first because it looks so weird.

Right but you’ve basically admitted to it though without saying that the whole situation is kinda fucked. Coed sport leagues are your one example. You’ve got going out to bars but you need an entire group of friends who want to approach wom

As usual with all these trite dating app articles - not a single heterosexual man is represented. It’s always the plight of gay men, straight women, and so forth. Often for these groups - they have abundant choice and are just unable to set

You’re likely well into the top 10% of attractiveness for men then if you got many matches and dates out of Tinder. You’re not representative of men at large. The overwhelming majority of men will never get a single date from online dating.

I’d start by defining your goal more clearly. You said “one of the best programmers” but that means nothing. That’s like saying “one of the best athletes”. You could go all the way from horse shoe throwing to F1 to basketball to golf and be

We got divorced. She refused to make more money even though she was capable, felt entitled to everything I was slaving for and that everything should go to her specifically and my needs weren’t important, and I was tired of it. She now ma

Correct. Seen this exact scenario and opposites. In the end - many companies aren’t super rigorous about whether your code that was written passes a test suite and compiled correctly. I’ve known a few (token) people who have said that they

Not even 40 but blames age for not getting jobs. Doesn’t want to do leetcode even though if you just did the damn work - you’d clear hundreds of thousands a year. Hates technology and comes on HN of all places. If this is your perspective -

I gave up listening to podcasts for education. I found after a certain point - it gave little reward. There’s only so many topics you can know about that people want to discuss. For now - I listen to podcasts that are more humorous than any

Dance. There’s lots of dances out there that don’t require the body of a 18 year old to compete and be world class at. That said - you will never have articles written about you, be interviewed for X, etc. Dance is mostly for enjoyment and

Comedy is also like other things - you may be good at it but it doesn’t mean you want to turn it into a career. I’ve been asked at times if I had ever considered standup or doing some kind of comedy or joining in on things - but I am funny

Correct. I’ve had unlimited PTO at a few jobs. All of them I’ve taken 5+ weeks off outside of company holidays every year. This is usually better than the 20 days standard you get from some FAANG.

Glassdoor notoriously undershoots and is off by quite a bit. I’d not use that as a resource at all.

I’ve had too many to count and they all seem insignificant when you see all of them individually. Together is where the picture of my life is drawn and you start to understand. One that comes back to me a lot (cause I’m divorced) is the fir

> You could make the same argument to say that bonds are a bad investment. It's not true, depending on what the investor expects. This is truly semantics and is quite pedantic. I’d highly recommend avoiding these types of arguments.
