I think leetcode is just like anything else you practice - in order to actually improve you need to practice the right way (or in the OP's case, with the right state of mind! Being burnt out is a fundamental problem which needs to be

I am pretty heavily involved with interviewing and here is my take for what it's worth: - Yes try to schedule ASAP, although it gets so complicated lining up availability I don't think it is possible to aim for mornings vs afterno

Google told me recently that their process typically takes 6-8 weeks! They are absolutely losing candidates but they must have enough applicants to still be ok.

That is a great book! There is so much discussion around doors, and rightfully so! I can never walk through an unusual door again without thinking about it since reading that chapter.

Most tech companies offer great insurance on top of higher salaries, so this doesn't really effect highly paid employees. For example, my insurance premium is around $200/month for my family and I have a maximum out of pocket cos

I hope no one comes away after reading this thinking it is a good way to run a company. It is not! If you are making any decision, it is on you to seek out and include all relevant stakeholders and include them. People should not have to

This was a tough post to read, and I am glad the author was able to recover and land on his feet again. But, I can't help but think that this was an awful work environment. First of all, no one should feel blindsided and fired like th

Fidelity has a decent chat bot, it is very easy to open/close accounts or escalate to a human. I do feel that chat bot interfaces work better on desktop than mobile, since it doesn't take over the entire screen (example, I can typ

A comfortable train ride is nice, but I had a chance to listen to many books on tape and podcasts when I had a long driving commute. It also was helpful to be able to stop at a store if I needed something on the way to work or home. That s

That's a great approach. I try to do the same thing, maybe try to get them to laugh with a witty joke or light comment to lower the stress level. I don't think it helps anybody to put candidates through stress.

At one of my jobs we had SO MANY of these all-hands meetings quickly scheduled 10 minutes ahead of the start time... It gets too stressful after a while!

This would maybe work if every employer did it and it was easy to pick up a new trial quickly, but the reality is that the time from application to hire can be weeks if not months at most companies! No way I could risk having to find anothe

I always feel like that type of coding interview is a sort of engineering hazing. I know I am often consulting documentation, especially when working in a new problem-space or less familiar programming language! I always try to give candida

The only problem for something too remote for me is my kids. They are still young but I'd like to make sure they have local opportunities to meet other kids, get experience at local employers, and have good schools.

On an instrustial machine I worked on we got around this by hosting a node.js website on a Linux touch screen panel. There was a redis cache which was updated by a small python script that communicated with the embedded stuff via a serial i

That also involves a lot of proposal writing, which can be hard and involve some late nights! But the work can be very interesting and varied.

what material did you use for 3d printing? I would think PETG or ABS is probably best?

Very cool! I am actually also making a 3d printed pen plotter! I love how easy it is to get common hardware like bearings, plus how nice it is to print parts on demand. Edit to add the link to the plotter: https://www.thingiverse

I think it depends a lot on the what stage of the project we are in. In the beginning designing phase daily standups might be useful but once the work is well defined a more asynchronous communication style works better. I agree with the a
