This is an excellent description of the mood that we are going through right now. It does feel inevitable that AI is going to be part of our life, whether we like or not.

hogged to death :/

I'm a backend engineer and my professional interests lie in backend development, distributed systems, cloud computing, and building data-intensive applications. I enjoy tackling complex technical challenges and designing scalable solutions that can handle large amounts of data efficiently.

Location: UK

Remote: Prefer Remote and Hybrid

Willing to relocate: Yes

Technologies: Backend, data pipelines, Python, Java, Scala, some Typescript, Kubernetes, Kafka, Postgres, GCP, AWS

I'd add cut off browsing news/reddit and scrolling social media. It also overload the brain with garbage.

Sometimes, it's a way to elegantly solve some problems. Imagine you have a binary tree and you need to find it's depth. The answer is the maximum depth of its left and right subtree plus one. This easily translates into a recursive code.

It's true that it's rarely used in production quality code, but nonetheless it's sometimes useful and you should have a good command of writing recursive code.

I'm more increasingly convinced that ceo are capitalizing on this occasion to lay off people they deem undesirable.

Very nice! I really find it useful. Would you mind sharing the tech stack?

Thanks for sharing! will check it out later, but this looks great.

It's useful for the estimation part of system design.

This pretty standard interview question. You should keep track of the current minimum when you do a push: push 1: [(v=1,m=1)] push -1: [(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1)] push 3: [(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1), (v=3, m=-1)] get_min: [(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1), (v=3, m=-1)] returns m=-1 pop: [(v=1, m=1), (v=-1, m=-1)] returns v=3 get_min: returns -1

Do you really think that metaverse will gain momentum?

What's the point of this? Will it make you rich?

I think this type of question is what make people go and work for the kind of Mark Zuckerbuerg.

First time I'm hearing about Fastmail :D

algorithms illuminated isn't freely available. The links forward to amazon.

slightly off topic but do you have some resources that explain maths in simple language, or using visualisation and code samples? Although I had calculus, linear algebra, probability theory, and discrete maths at uni, I have forgotten most of it. This sucks especially because from time to time I bump into a problem that could easily be modelled elegantly using math.
