100% agree. Elements were barely rendering in as I scrolled down or I had to sit and wait for them to load in. These kinds of things are fun to hack together but they really are annoying to have around as a user.

I believe most if not all of the big 4 do algo heavy interviews. So it's my opinion that people know this and then look at their success and say "That's how we need to interview too." Ignoring the fact that probably has

I "worked from home" a lot while interviewing. Additional reasons I did't go in included having errands to run and not feeling well. Depends on your current job though, my employer at the time had, and probably still does, a

Because they all have jobs. And if they are looking for a new one they can pick where they want to go because by virtue of being good engineers it's easy for them to find jobs since everyone is looking for good engineers. And if they a

> Currently, the only officially supported Python version for Veros is Python 2.7 (64-bit), which should be the standard Python interpreter on most systems. Couple questions: - Who cares if it's the standard Python on most systems?

I'm writing this comment with it now. I use it as my daily driver on my home machine when running in Windows (FF when booted in to Linux). I use Chrome at work because of integrations we have with Chrome. I'm pretty happy with it.

I don't know about replace but most likely supplement. I for one wouldn't want to be blinking at my computer all time. I imagine this would also be a boon for pop up ads as they could steal your focus right as you were about to bl

In my opinion Java is great if you want to write big enterprise-y applications but if you just want to get something done or just learn some concepts I would suggest Python. You can do all the same things you can do with Java as a beginner

I sidestep this issue on my personal projects by using Docker w/ Python (although this is probably applicable to other languages). I use this at work in production as well although to a lesser extent as we aren't containerized fo

Do you actually need hot reload? I structure my images like so to avoid long build times for images: - Base image that just has the run time (usually an alpine image for Python, Java etc). These are left as generic as possible so they can b

Most companies operating at scale are developing distributed systems, not everyone open sources them or offers them as a product though.

Isolation, repeatability and speed of deployment: - Docker images are portable. They will run anywhere there is Docker. No surprise missing system packages when deploy. - They are isolated from the the rest of the machine. Inconsistencies b

I recently read the book "Kubernetes: Up & Running" and it was a great resource. Written by Kelsey Hightower it's short and to the point has a bunch of great examples. As a starter I would get Minikube going on your lapto

I use it to play music that's about it. As I've gotten better at cooking I rely less on recipes and sort of glance of them to get the idea of what is supposed to be happening and go off that.
