I had the same experience. The limiters come off when you go from a big company to a startup, and there are no longer any guard rails. It’s incredibly easy to let the feeling of accomplishment drive you to work more and more. It’s not susta

Basically all the coding interview sites are exactly this: editor, compiler, tester, record and replay every keystroke. Why hasn’t anyone used them for a CS class? No idea, maybe cost? And I can’t help but think if they did people would fin

Maybe they feel it is expected of them and aren’t really interested in the subject matter? I met an engineering student once who told me they hated it but their parents wouldn’t support them for their true passion (the arts). For some I thi

I’ve only had to change them one time on any car newer than 1990, after ~200k miles/10 years of use. For most people that qualifies as life of the vehicle, but there was plenty of life left.
