   For SDE? This seems like strange advice to me.

   I like the rule that says inappropriately seized property must be returned alongside a penalty roughly equivalent to (some version) of the optimal investment strategy with the property's values as initial value across the period of sei

   I once thought to apply at Nike and remember two things: their application site was (at the time at least) gorgeous and they did the thing where you have to retype your resume into awkward, albeit attractive, forms. I didn't complete t

   So you're sure that the brainwashing the state picks is the correct version?

   Don't use apps you think shouldn't be apps? Making normative statements about something OP did for fun and shared with us is a bit odd.

   Downloading these PDFs somehow magically requires an email address too. I'm no great front end engineer but I have a feeling download doesn't need contact info to make the protocol work...

   That's a cool idea but I think something important is lost without that human "fudge factor" so to speak. I do a lot of things for my team that maybe aren't explicated in policy or would be very difficult to legislate th

   It doesn't take long to read and you can find it online or get it for a couple bucks. Agree with above comment--worth a couple hours read.

    Exactly; base salary is not a huge deciding factor for me when looking at offers.

    I personally enjoyed analysis for its own sake. The calc sequence was a bit silly, like a cookbook, but there are some cool ideas in there that I still enjoy thinking about. Math maturity that came out of that (and others, especially number

    Early in my career I got in trouble for including Taiwan on a web form country drop down list (not Amazon). Hadn't encountered that until that moment. Was a bit weird.

    Agreed it isn't trivial but neither is it impossible. Also agree that Amazon is probably the easiest to prep for once you understand the behavioral aspect.

    FAANG interviews are quite game-able.

    Probably not an issue for a public company like Dropbox. I suspect they have an official address and SEC filings ought to demonstrate they're real as much as an office lease.

    Extremely uncommon outside of federal government related things. Maybe some other niche industries but definitely not the norm.

    I would argue Vannevar Bush was more instrumental to the Manhattan project than Oppenheimer was. This is a pretty dismissive take on what "real work" is.

    When you can leave an already lucrative job for a 100% increase by passing a 4-9 round loop.. why wouldn't you?

    I've done some for my own learning/amusement but I don't put them on my resume and it has never come up in interviews.

    Checklists are not the answer. Some kind of liability framework seems like the answer. And perhaps through such a lens we'll discover that some businesses simply shouldn't exist.

    Title might want to add "in my opinion" or something. At first glance this claim seems absurd however Apple has really sold itself as megacorp champion of privacy whereas the other two haven't. Perhaps not as ridiculous as it

    Same here, math undergrad; not terribly difficult to start my career with and is now an advantage I think, albeit a small one.

    I'm with you 100%. That said when I read something like this and get angry about it I really don't know what I can practically do about it. I have disposable income but I'm not the type to feel righteous and self-assured beca
