Wage workers? No. That’s just false. I don’t know what exactly you’re trying to say but it’s wrong. This is just another appearance of the same class warfare that drives slavery. Working people didn’t ask for this any more than slaves aske

On hn, there is sort of bubble of people who think that working for startup is best thing ever and everyone else is selling the soul. HN, for obvious reasons, over-estimates how likely it is a startup will succeed, and over-estimates how

If you have not done so already buy a copy of Cracking The Coding Interview and take a few weeks off applying anywhere to work your way through it. Most modern interviews are tests of how recently you have read this one book. Good luck!
