I used to work as a SWE at Google, and we sometimes "joked" that the process ("here's a list of computer science topics, we expect you to know all of them, take as long as you want to prepare") was designed to ident

You can find people pushing back against this in America. My daughter, for instance, attends a Sudbury School, where the kids make the rules and decide how to spend their own time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudbur

Yeah, I made it about 5 days in this year and then quit because I wasn't having fun. Too many of the problems had the structure: * here's Part A * submit solution for Part A * OK, now here's Part B * Part B is just different

I think it looks like a cool series of books. I also hate that you describe it as "free to read" but then require me to give you access to my Twitter account in order to read it. I don't know you, and I don't want to giv

I also hate slide decks that do that. I literally went through this one left to right and thought "wow, that was a really high level overview". Only then I realized I had to hit down some of the time. (And the "you idiot, y

Confession: I am guilty of this. Well, sort of. I actually did write a book, and it did sell more than 3 copies, and now I put "best selling author" on my resume, on account of my book being #1 in its category (sometimes) and #1 o
