It's nice to know that no product managers, UX designers or vice presidents were harmed in the process of developing "finger". :-)

Am I the only one who, upon reading the title, thought it was about menu shortcuts? (It's not). Talk about feeling silly...

Great article. After reading, I realized it may also describe Apple. "Businesses like Wild Bill’s, which are formed around the passion and personality of a unusual individual, can be hard to keep alive over the long term, even when the

Exactly. Those a great examples, and you could add the ones of students who are not interested in being engineers. Of course, technical interviews and really any other recruiting process, are not perfect, but it gets one closer.

This sounds reasonable enough, but on the other side, so is the observation that often people who get into and get through top 10 schools are actually ones that did not work hard. The point of using interviewing.io online technical intervie

Nice article. I wish it also discussed the potential value of future-proofing the code (for future Intel or - more important - Intel-compatible CPUs), in which case wouldn't it make sense to use 3 simpler instructions? Even at the risk
