- Jtsummers 1y agoDoes it take strong connections to end up in a student newspaper?
- bastardoperator 1y agoNo, but he also ended up on Fireship, and he also shared his company has done 160K+ in sales in the past 4 weeks.

- laidoffamazon 1y agoHe went to Columbia and he seems kinda unhinged. The former is really all you need. It's a small club, and the rest of us aren't in it.
- columbiauni 1y ago[dead]
- volkk 1y agohe's a zfellows guy. the whole thing is likely some kind of plant/stunt
- jvanderbot 1y agoI mean he has admitted as much.
- dghlsakjg 1y agoHe parlayed his AI wrapper into fooling Amazon into a prized job offer by gaming an unpopular algorithmic interview technique. It isn’t that he made AI wrapper, it’s that he pointed out the king has no clothes with it.
- yongjik 1y ago"If I cheat I can get high score" does not mean the king has no clothes.
- hiatus 1y agoIs it cheating if you use the same tools to solve a problem as you would in a job? "No calculators" is lame when the job entails using calculators.
- jvanderbot 1y agoYes I think it is. Math, which is more than arithmetic, is still important in the age of calculators. Using a tool does not substitute for clear thinking and deep experience, which is what they're trying to test for.
- bredren 1y agoLeet code interviews are passed by having invested time practicing at leetcode interviews. They may but do not necessarily test for clear thinking and deep experience.
- jvanderbot 1y agoWe're going to disagree on this, but I have had situations arise at least once every 6 months where someone at work, or I, had to decompose a problem or come up with some critical code in exactly the same way as a LC interview. There is something very frustrating about living this experience and being surrounded by folks who refuse to admit it is real. Those same folks who couldn't help in those times. It's fine, it's not always required for every job, but I sure as heck would appreciate working with folks who can describe set cover or what have you. I work where I work though. So, it's different all over. But to unilaterally say it's invalid is just plain wrong.
