Whenever I read something written from Joel Spolsky I think back to the time I attended the first CalHacks hackathon. Joel gave the keynote talk which I pushed into as a starry-eyed young technology enthusiast. He told us to work hard so we dont end up like the construction workers out there (referring to the construction happening outside of the Berkeley stadium at the time). Oh. I had hardly entered the software industry and that was my first moment of being jaded about the out of touch characters the bay/valley had to offer. I better get coding or else I'll have a shite life like those construction workers...

I can get some interviews and get through some rounds. But no one here is talking about LeetCode which is all that really matters.

Using a throwaway because obviously I'm mediocre and I don't want to end up woefully hopeless like those horrible people applying to every open job in Palo Alto.
