Yes but it doesn't matter, it's a skill you gain and lose with repetition. I have seen many people without formal compsci training pick it up quickly

They clearly layout their interview process and even have a video series on YouTube explaining how to pass it. It is not difficult but time-consuming to learn their interview "language" Leetcode screens are a matter of grinding fo

This is a strength of theirs. They have a very strong maintenance program called TechOps

I agree that McKinsey sucks, just pointing out that it's the only one with a facade of prestige (anecdotally)

The only consulting firm I've ever heard spoken of somewhat favorably is McKinsey (and then only by ex-McKinsey people)

Anecdotally: a lot! I find it very useful for practicing IFR procedures and approaches. You can connect it to an external comm service like Vatsim and a real human will even give you vectors and clearances! (They, too, are using it for real

My first winter in NYC was very rough and I didn't understand why at first. I got a blood test at the doc and he said my vitamin D was very low. I committed to walking in the sun at least a half hour a day, weather permitting, and I ne

The level of craftsmanship they brought to this game really blew me away. Many open-world games have a feeling of emptiness or a lot of pointless content to fill in their map. Not so for Elden Ring - every area feels like they added somethi

I appreciate this comment. I understand that there is a lot I'll never know or understand because I'm on the other side of the wall. I agree that much of the blame lies with Russia/Putin but I still feel that there is more th

Please don't sink to ad-hom on hackernews. Nowhere in my comment is apologia, merely context. Ukraine should be defended and helped in any of way we can (without causing nuclear war) not in spite of our history of saber-rattling, but b

I don't like these kinds of comments because the intent behind them always seems to be some sort of justification for the deaths of Ukrainians and annexation. The spirit of my comment, that I hope is captured by the reader, is that NAT

Most would not agree with you. From Chomsky to Kissinger, political analysts and historians have been ringing alarm bells for decades on NATO expansion eastward. TL;DR: we had a west-friendly Russian government at the fall of the wall - but

After a couple of tries with "headhunters" I decided I would never work with them again. If a recruiter, directly employed by a company, reaches out to me for a position in said company, I find it agreeable to look at their propos
