I tried it. Already benefitted. Thanks for putting this together. Let us know how we can contribute, if any, to the features/code. Thanks again.

and for audit. Audit/Compliance is one of the worst yet valid reasons to introduce complexity, redundancy and all sorts of costs into projects. It's also why some people earn a living out of it purely.

There is nothing here imho. It's just mastery of crafts, how often/much you practice (not just rote learning) and I guess to a smaller extent, natural proclivity/talent.

Just wondering, was it any good? Would you say it played a big part in passing whiteboard coding and landed your current job? Asking because I'm thinking of doing it myself..

And yet, when you're "right" you can be very wrong. E.g. during a heated discussion, you really feel truly charitable, selfless and sacrificial and want to help the other party out of their self-destruction/unveil the se

Yeah, everyone's thinking they are the next FAANG and they need to copycat their interview style. Coupled with the fact it's so easy to outsource technical interviews to leetcode/hackerrank, they'd be thinking why not? W

The last time I had a chat with someone from a FANNG like company, the consensus was that it would not be unreasonable to be grinding algo/leetcode for 6 months to ace that FAANG interview. However, my personal experience with a tech i

Hey c'mon, back in elementary school, every cohort has at least written about their favorite past-time during writing classes. Just because the subject/title is the same, it doesn't mean the writing is the same. Every writer

Haha, no. You can still copy-pasta and also blog about it as real content. C'mon, how else can I feel good about my shitty self?

Livelihood aside, how the heck do you go from being a dev to becoming proficient in reverse engineering? Are these stuff all self-taught through years of tinkering/interest before it becomes a profession? I can already imagine the amou

Care to share the online resources that helped you the most? I'm also trying to trade stocks but am fearful of the current market outlook esp with the possibility of an impending pandemic.

I hate to be in your predicament. Software dev mixed with workplace politics is such a mess. Coupled with non-technical upper management that can be easily manipulated. I don't think the cure is simple and difficult, there probably isn

Not sure about that. Too many chefs spoil the broth. And in most cases, if this one single engineer has the proven track record, I'd give his opinions and decisions slightly higher weightage but at the same time, dictate that he run th

Family != Self. It's akin to saying I can be my own spouse or my own kid. Is the Christian tripartite, God being the father, son and holy spirit a simple enough idea to you or any layman? Can God be God and also be man at the same time

To this I say, we simply love ourselves more than we love others and you don't have to beat yourself up on that. Somewhere, there's someone that loves you enough to accept you for this. ;) Everyone needs family, even Bruce Wayne a

I struggle with this. Often, I find myself asking why should the primary purpose of my life be providing for the lives of others? I should spend my life living for myself to the fullest and in so doing, hopefully it enables me to provide fo

Can you explain why if it's anything about people, it's a red flag? If anything, the social aspect of a job is equally or more important in my search for a job.
