I haven't job hunted in five years or so, but leetcode was omnipresent in my local market. I got some offers without leetcode but those jobs paid about half as much as the ones that required leetcoding. What does prep look like now?

Does this rely on the Trust Me Bro model, or is there some way for the client to verify that the provider actually isn't able to see your inputs? I want to read a whitepaper but all I can find is the tl;dw conference presentation

If I told my coworker that his or her "brain is a gizmo" and to "not reproduce" I would expect to be frog marched out the door a few minutes later.

Once you have workloads that can't tolerate a power cut + running fsck for a potentially long time, a battery backup becomes an excellent investment. I bought a UPS on eBay for cheap and my home server hasn't gone down since.

Probably 90% of my coworkers in a US tech company are on a work visa. Now that there is pressure on the H1B program, my company is investing in a permanent engineering team in India. Whether this will pay off for them in the long term is a

How many of those people have experience with augmented reality? Probably not that many. $35k seems pretty low for this job. Hindsight is 20/20 of course.

No W. No X. No Y. Just Z. In fact, the whole article is filled with slopisms, just with the em dashes swapped for regular dashes and some improper spacing around ellipses to make you think a human wrote it.

I clicked the article thinking it was about GitLab. Much of the criticism held true for GitLab anyway, particularly the insanely slow feedback loops these CI/CD systems create.

That's a very unusual and narrow exception involving "foregone conclusion doctrine", an important fact missed by Ars Technica but elaborated on by AP: https://apnews.com/general-news-49da3a1e71f74e1c98012611ae

I don't like doing the leetcode grind, but all of the alternatives are strictly worse. * Take home projects filter out people with busy lives. Wastes 100 people's time to hire 1 person. Can't be sure they didn't cheat. N
