The Federalist Society is, generally speaking, an ultra-conservative interest group that has been the driving force behind Republican judicial nominations in the US for the past several decades. I do not think that there is anything inheren

That's not the point. The point is that if someone can't do some of the easier Leetcode style problems, they probably didn't try to prepare at all, and that can be viewed as arrogant or lazy. I'm not disputing that binar

Yeah. If he's capable of building good stuff, but couldn't invert a binary tree, it suggests strongly that he didn't even bother to do a minimal amount of preparation, and Google is not unreasonable at all to want to filter o

Yeah, this was a very confusing and unhelpful aspect of the post. It's not clear until too far in that it's not her. She should have prefaced it by saying it was reader-submitted (or however it ended up on her substack).

I can get more specific, but yes, I believe based on what I read of the article, that he gives the discipline of law, and lawyers, too much credit. I do think legal academia is superior to legal practice, so I think if one is exposed only t

As a dev turned lawyer turning dev again, I disagree with a lot of what this guy is saying. I think his view is rosy because he hasn't worked in law among practicing lawyers lol

Just a nit: as a dev turned lawyer, I would say law firms don't need to be organized as they are. That's a whole topic, and I don't think it impairs your main point, just saying: don't assume anything in law is optimal,
