After going through the process of 5 interviews across multiple companies, I would much rather be given an open ended question and do a 1 hour presentation. I am so tired of going into a technical not knowing which leetcode question I have

I can't imagine this to be true for the vast majority of web/sass companies. Even if there is a lot of knowledge, there are so many areas of the code with technical debt that could just be "How would you refactor this code. H

Getting something done right now is more related to impulsiveness. You can be low energy and impulsive. You can be high energy and a planner. Maybe you're thinking hyper activity?

In general, the people who write and/or design the code are the ones who knows how to best test the code. These are the people who have thought most deeply about the code that is written, not only in the code itself but also how it fit

"The best way to level up is to code. Reading code can be a complementary activity that can bring insights but it's not a way to level up. Active > passive." Both writing and reading code is important. It's just that

One of the concerns about trading that I always have is being able to compete with the big traders. What are your trading speeds like? How long have you been doing this?

I started my career with 5 years in IT/devops. During that time, a few friends and I started a retail hobby game store (Magic the Gathering, board games, etc). Did that for 18 years. During that time, we wrote code and used technology

Maybe. The way I see it, transparency and fairness takes far more time than nepotism and corrupt behavior. How would you suggest that the government be more fair, transparent and fast?

I think we both agree that we shouldn't be protecting the wealthy. I just think we should do it another way. IMO, high housing prices exist because of the lack of supply. I think it's possible for the government to increase housin

This is a good question. Where do we draw the line at human rights? Should land ownership be a protected right? It would cost a lot less if the government just took the land instead of paying fair market value. It would also cost a lot less

I agree that this would be a good solution. I'm merely bringing up that it takes consideration. Also someone will need to learn the Secrets Manager and also learn credentials management for CI/CD. It's probably at least a day

I don't think something like Proton will pan out. What will likely happen is that the larger studio making AAA games will want an iOS port. At that point, it will be trivial to tweak it for the M1 chips. Games like Elden Ring and and G
