True, but both of them have stuck to their original objectives even now. GitHub at doing things Devs like and LinkedIn at doing things HR likes. WaPo and AWS are both owned by the same person. That doesn't mean both (have to) charter i

It's 2-3 hours for a guy having a 2-3 years of experience (which is what I'm looking for). And yes, I get those attempted by the guys in my team before sending it out. And yes, most of the time, I end up flushing out a few bits of
