I am only half the author's age but, in my limited experience, the only thing worse than loneliness is the stifling weight of the impositions and compromises that come with virtually all relationships. The ones that offer enough in ret

I don't get the hate, Leetcode is great. Best signal for your buck, fun, and the most equitable and fair process. Like SATs, LSATs, etc. Just git gud Also, for system design interviews, they should use stuff like Factorio and Zachtroni

Tons of innovative games come out every year. Star Citizen is cool and all but it's hardly innovative. It IS a thirteen year old boy's dream game, though, I'll give it that

If you attack me over this, remember, I'm an old school internet warlord

Like all CEO bullshit this is pretty cringe, but admittedly it's not quite as bad or creepy as One Big Family cultures

This looks like one of those "bad quarterly results give us cover to get rid of some rabble rousers we don't like" layoff rounds

There's a good post-mortem of the whole brew-ha-ha on his blog, also

Bro, just do whatever you want, these places are for doing whatever you want. Engagement numbers are irrelevant, we're all just screaming into the void at all times Also, to contradict myself immediately, Facebook is most definitely no

He ain't wrong, in fact he's right. Being a kissless virgin he fails to appreciate the importance of UX/UI decisions. But other than that, yeah

Sure, I agree that they do. My point is they shouldn't

Nope, I'm not. Amherst college is another tier or two above UMass Amherst, yeah I went to the best HS in the Northeast in the 90s and no one seriously considered BU, but UMass Amherst was a non-shameful safety. But I am out of the loop
