Have you actually done a proper bulk/cut cycle? Gaining fat is normal when bulking, then you cut (lose the fat while maintaining the muscle).

Did you read the article? The sugared JS would be a superset of the target JS. So you would only need to learn the sugared.

...and people criticise node's node_modules. At least you don't spend hours doing this

So were the developments before the last AI winter..

Wait until you see China. There are multiple cities bigger than NYC or London that most people have never heard of.

Not everyone here is American, "they" is more ambigous in the UK and Australia.

^ This is the real answer that actually reliability works

They're trying to buy enough time to get enough people vaccinated before they "let it rip". Delta has an extremely high R value and will come back in force. This way we eliminate many more unnecessary deaths. Not hard to understand.

Let's be honest, the media is just giving the people what they want, people subconsciously want bias news, its not pleasent to read news that disagrees with your own views. Why do you think facebook modified their algorithms for this? This applies to both on the left and the right politically.

I can't think of a witty response. I fold.

Grinding leetcode != software engineering. That is my entire point, not sure why you're confused.

I'm in London, can you name these companies? I'm earning 150k GBP a year at the moment (average senior/lead as I understand is about 80 or 90?), and have interviewed at a bunch of other companies with the same level. Interviews I get are all about experience, and coding problems that are related to software engineering and not computer science.

This is definitely not true. I've been contracting for 6 years in London, and am currently in an inside IR35 role, and have quite a few friends in the same space but in frontend/devops and its all the same. The differnce is atleast 2x for senior/lead engineers in golang or python.

While I agree with you that theres a few like that, you have forgotten about the candidates that genuinely don't want to spend their spare time grinding leetcode.

I worked at facebook, when I started looking for a new job, I had to start grinding leetcode again to prepare for a new job. Take a step back and realise how ridiculous this is.

Big companies that have prestiege and pay alot of money use it to eliminate false positives, not to actually recognise true positives. If your at a big company that can afford to throw away many true postives, sure use leetcode, but the rest are hurting themselfs by blinding following the mantra of FANG.

Isn't contract work looked down upon in the US? Here in the UK, its the opposite, contractors make atleast 2x the money, and most wouldn't dream of going back to salary position because no company wants to pay that for a permanent employee (apart from american companies and qaunt finance with nice bonuses)

Isn't it pretty much everywhere doesn't require leetcode, except the US?

UK, Aus, and NZ definitely don't unless its with some American company.

This. I have a 4 year old MBP with a screen issue that's obviously not my fault. Apple refuses to fix it.

Please stop talking garbage on here. This isn't facebook.

This is why you need to ask everyone who interviews "What is Container vs Presentational, and why is it good/bad". If you cannot give you a good answer don't hire them.

Most other countries provide universal health care, private health insurance is optional.

Kind of ironic isn't it, the people against universal medicare are the same ones spouting "freedom", but infact universal medicare would give them more real individual freedom than any other bills sent to the Senate these days.

Wont we achieve herd immunity via natural infecion then? Unless the virus starts to become like flu, which evades the the natural immunty very easily.

Do thousands then and get back to me. It's all patterns, this "inspiration", is just patterns, your just not seeing it yet.

Its true on some degree, that you need some intelligence, but I have a few close friends who are FAANG, they are definitely not the best developers I've ever worked with, only difference is they really really cared about getting into FAANG. Getting into FAANG was basically their life ambitions, so they dedicated literally all there spare time to it.

If they're IQ tests, then why does doing a whole bunch of leetcode questions make me better at it? Isn't IQ supposed to be relatively stable throughout one's lifetime?

This gap year has been pretty common in Europe/Aus/NZ for a while. Lots of young people do it. We even have visas for it called "working holidays" so they can work a part-time bar job etc, so you dont need to save up much to do it.

20% of passively reading/watching materials, to understand the why, how, and avoid any bad patterns, and 80% actually creating/doing something I've wanted to do with that skill.

This 20/80 mix works for me well and keeps me motiviated.

I'll also notedown in a .txt file in dot points things that seem important, especially things that I feel are important and would be easy to forgot.

I would recommend watching 3Blue1Bown series on calculus. Its very easy to understand and somes with some great visuals.

I'm going to assume you havn't left out any other details, In this case, wow, no offence but your Dad has serious issues

I think it means if you assume lunchtime is part of work or not. I'm in the UK, every job I've had is 9-5 or 9:30-5:30, with a 1 hour lunch break.
