But that's not a problem. These companies pay so much that they have too many candidates applying all the time, so missing good engineers is not a problem, but filtering out false positives is. Though, I don't agree leetcode is a

That's the thing I like about HN: you can find comments that are much better and more insightful then the article itself. As an old time gamer I can't agree more. We are in the golden age of old-style games (hollow knight, disco e

Jira and confluence resource hogging is such a low hanging fruit it may as well be laying on the ground for someone to pick. Confluence search for me is one of the worst offenders: takes forever to load and can't find anything I want.
