At work, I've been forced to use angular. It's just awfully complicated, breaks subtly, changes (not improves) constantly and has sucked in hundreds of developer hours that could have been better utilized. I was appalled at the st

You sound so attached to that FAANG office of yours. Use that FAANG salary to get a nice chair, a sturdy table, good coffee and a coffee machine. Home or office, staring at a screen all day ain't good for no one. And that weight is fro

The first SE and the 5C were redesigned models. This version is unique in that it is not unique. Its a goddam rebrand of the iphone 8 sold at prices cheaper than any of the iphones ever. 5c was priced $649 for a 64 GB unlocked version.

Take any angular js app with more than 200 LoC. Migrate it to angular 8. Feel the pain. Angular 8 is over engineered, there are a million pieces that make the app work; any of which can and do break. With the code freeze by EOD, you're

> is an order of magnitude better. No. Its not. Theres one true way to press a button. Not the same with gestures. I'd be happy if they put 4 buttons in a row there. But I can live with one too.

Hey potta_coffee, I'm in a similar situation as you. I have decided to accept leetcode-style prep as my best choice. I'm a few months in my part time prep. I can, maybe, make it a little bearable for you.
