what's even more mind boggling is that library is more or less publicly accessible _now_ via a home internet connection or a connection from your... friendly neighborhood library! but you're right, having unmitigated access to tha

this phenomenon also happens within businesses and in a more bizarre fashion. look at all the layers of management a startup will slap on at some point in it’s life because it’s commonplace at other companies and Google. look at the process

i kind of like the idea of taking them through your codebase, though. allowing the interviewer to concoct problems leads to something i'm very passionate about, and that's attempting to stifle the ego involved in the interview pro

the blog author doesn’t take them through the company’s code base. the author creates code for the interview.

i don’t think the author is suggesting Zapier will go away. like craigslist is still thriving and probably has a long future ahead of itself.

I’m mostly familiar with STEM PhD’s, and do not have one. However, my understanding is coursework is over once the PhD starts and you’ve earned a masters. You’re in the lab doing research on your thesis, and often teaching classes.
