As long as: (1) The technical staff understand the business constraints AND (2) management understands the technical constraints AND (3) both constraints "match" you are in heaven. I've seen that. Is possible. Is nice. More o

Yes, but nothing (theoretically) stops him from saying: "congratulations, you have solved part 1, wait until tomorrow for part 2". I think either the author thinks people appreciate more the 2 stages challenge, than having one pro

Thanks. That is an interesting insight into the current reality. I assume the developers take care of optimization of queries; set up indexes and development of schemas and DB backups is handled by devops. I must say, again I thought (I rea

You are right. The exercises are heavy in one area. Still, for starting in a new language can be helpful: you have to do in/out with files. Data structures, and you will be using all flow control. So you will not be an ace, but can h

And two pilots were trying to fly the plane without talking to each other. One learned “if something happens just pull back, this plane cannot stall”. No pilot learned to say “my plane” when flying. Way too many errors.

No. The behavior was wrong, no matter what you are flying. Same problem with proper training would have result in a simple report.

I would personally not want to seat in those planes in those 2 months.

Must be referring to the little money they give you for travel expenses and breakfast (so you don’t pass out) is typical in many places. But is in no way a compensation, and mixing that topics is really confusing things.

IMHO absolutely. The basics of lexer and parser are still there. Some of the optimizations are also relevant. You just cannot expect to read the book and be able to write GCC or LLVM from scratch(1). For learning deeper about other advanced
