This is super cool! I'm at a startup and we've finally started building up our testing infrastructure lately, this seems like a great time-saver. Just tried it out and it worked great. Two questions: 1) Is it possible to set the s

Another anecdote of an incompetent interviewer blindly looking for a certain answer: I once had an interview where, for a pretty long question, one trivial step was to check that one set was a subset of another set. Neither set had any spec

I just checked and there's a CSS rule on everything now (comments and main thread text) that causes this: `word-break: break-all;` Disabling the rule makes wrapping behave as expected. I don't know if it's new, but I haven&#x

Fair enough, that breakdown sounds about right to me. Though it's important to note that "rich kids" here means really super rich. I recall once hearing some admissions person half-jokingly say that they don't even not

The big takeaway I have from reading this thread is how many people think of the top Ivies as rich kid schools where most students are paying exorbitant amounts of money to attend. Probably a stereotype perpetuated by movies and TV shows...

Unless you are exceptional enough to become somewhat well-known in the field, yes. It's not about ability and whether you can learn the material - you just won't even be invited for an interview if they have a whole line of PhDs (
