It's a little strange to me that otherwise experienced people feel the need to "study" for Google interviews. To me, this seems less like they're selecting for good engineers and more like they're just selecting for

It was almost life-changing when I figured out how to do that on both my work Macbook and my home Linux machine. As another evil mode user I second what you said

I wish I could take a class on early film history. It's fascinating to see how people figured out all these techniques, tricks, rules, and conventions in the first few decades of movie-making. It's simply incredible how quickly it

Really refreshing to see someone say they might do the same thing if the tables were turned. It's easy to judge others shortcomings in what we know, but there's probably plenty of other things that we have our own shortcomings wit

You also said that all you would get was an "automated ack". This seems to not be the case if aws provides an on-call support engineer.
