Does this mean we get the day off?

As someone looking to expand their knowledge of big systems and building at scale this kind of resource is invaluable!

Is it due to the cost of living or do you just not like the city?

Holy cow, this is amazing. The results are way better than I would ever expect as possible.

Accepted criticism. At times I wonder if it's worth it or not but I think the preparation is warranted considering how I have to just kind of commit to this whole thing if I play on moving cross country with my fiancee.

It's really at the point where you need to prepare/review for the technical interviews at most companies. If people are going to review coding interview questions/books/strategy then to compete we'll have to do the same.

I myself have been working through cracking the coding interview in an attempt to migrate from upstate new york to the bay area. Maybe I wouldn't bother with positions that demanded white boarding if I already had a position over there and could be selective but maybe not. It kind of feels like it's all part of the game at this point.

I usually use Lyft and so the option to tip is there so this doesn't seem to be affecting that service yet. I honestly haven't used Uber in a while since the app never seems to work but if I got propositioned for tips with Lyft/Uber I'd definitely be hesitant to keep using that service going forward.

I really, really hope they nip this in the bud.

I also am interested in this story.

Yeah, I got to see that first hand at my last company. Very difficult to judge someones capabilities without some technical test or something.

"The client won't want to pay for testing"

"We'll circle back and add tests later"

I kind of want to free fall to test this out now. I feel kind of prepared.

This reminds me a lot of these neat little socratic games.

I have yet to use a machine that is as much of a pleasure to use as my mbp. I came from linux and while it was able to get the job done, the third party support for a lot of apps was less than ideal. Having everything synced up to my iPhone (again coming from someone who's first smart phone was the original droid) is fantastic as well.

Hmmm, good to know thanks. I'm planning on heading over there for a while and I wasn't sure what the general attitude was towards employees leaving after 0.5/1/2 years.

Is that the acceptable minimum there? Like the two years in other areas?

Judging by the number of joke and low hanging responses on this thread I think they should have held this article for a little longer.
