Failed Google L7 loop (Blind)
- MyWN48 (Walmart): 12 Month cool off is insane!!
- DAqH86 (Apple): In order to clear Google’s L7/L8 interviews, the most critical thing is to pick the right hiring manager, they will hand pick the panel interviewers, e.g. SRE requirements for Spanner and BigQuery are quite different.
- kidandplay (Walmart): Looks like that one round definitely could have been better.
Leetcode Interview is Dead And That Sucks For Me (Blind)
- rRawRr (Retool): Congrats, you were doing the AI’s job of googling and copy pasting code snippets into codebases and you were scamming your way into jobs by memorizing leetcode questions. You have been automated. Go do something else with your life.
- 🍃 ‘ (eBay): Idk what you’re on about. In July I did 8 technical screenings and they were all DS/Algo puzzles.
- ALXs84 (Intuit): I hear you! I struggle a lot with practical coding rounds too. More than anything, it’s sad that the expectation is still to have flawless code churned in 30 minutes. The questions are long, multi part and not very intuitive. Nobody cares for the approach, all they care is for the final result. How is this any different from leetcode then? Atleast we know what to expect!
Lots of money and no friends (Blind)
- railroad19 (Microsoft): Have kids and then you won’t have time to think about anything. Also you will make some friends.
- cola654t (Tesla): Join a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu gym (BJJ) you will find tons of great friends, nice hobby, learn self defense and get in shape.
- Romanpuss: I would start with finding groups/clubs or things you enjoy doing. Definitely keep you financial situation out of making friends (I.e: most people here are not trying to be your authentic friend) and just meet people naturally through common traits like a running club. Or if you’re a gamer there’s plenty of online communities. You will have to put yourself out there which will be uncomfortable, but how else do you expect to grow as a person?
New York files \$36 billion lawsuit against Kalshi, alleging it’s running an “illegal gambling operation” (r/technology)
- Mysterious-Oil-7094: I think there’s a fair chance it’s also money laundering as well. Not just illegal gambling.
- mostdope427: Flew into LaGuardia in January. Every screen in that airport had a kalshi ad on it at one point. Even the small screens by the gate that have information would show the logo in between other things.
- Glittering-Quail5848: Kalshi and Polymarket are GAMBLING websites. This is NOT commodities futures trading.
YouTuber Hank Green says his AI usage is ‘not healthy’ (r/technology)
- veracity8_: I think this story should highlight not that Hank Green is actually a hack. But instead it should highlight how easy it is to become reliant on AI chatbots if you aren’t really careful. And how being a smart and thoughtful person doesn’t make you automatically immune from the pressures to automate and outsource your work to AI.
- justbucoff: Everyone must interact with AI on a topic they’re an expert in. You’ll quite quickly see how confidently wrong the model sometimes is. It’s a great tool but can’t be relied on for everything.
- MattofCatbell: Hank is one of the smartest, influential educational content creators out there. If someone like him can fall into the trap of over-reliance and dependency on AI it really goes to showcase how insidious the technology can be.
