I disagree with most people here. The interview is the most important thing, so build it from scratch and make your own libraries. You will learn how to design good APIs which will make you infinitely more likely to get hired and promoted too.
Apologies for the tangent:
I know we’re just having fun, but in the future consider adding the word “some” to statements about groups. It’s just one word, but it adds a lot of nuance and doesn’t make the joke less funny.
That 90’s brand of humor of “X group does Y” has led many in my generation to think in absolutes and to get polarized as a result. I’d really appreciate your help to work against that for future generations.
Totally optional. Thank you
Too long, didn’t read
I see your concern, but in practice that’s not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.
Oof, some of these comments. Sorry on behalf of the edge lords, OP.
But the entire point of Rust and Result is… to force you to make a choice of what should happen
Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.
Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.
Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.

Absolutely agree, you’re preaching to the choir
FWIW I don’t really like tech companies in general. They’re monopolies.
That said, I really admire Google’s environmental policies. I worry a lot about global warming and habitat destruction. They’re doing better than any other tech company on that front.
Other companies will just lie about their emissions. Like Amazon claiming it’s 100% renewable (it’s not even close). Google has been honest and clear with it’s emissions numbers since the beginning. And it has never been afraid to call out when they were wrong. For example, they recently updated their numbers when they realized one of their accounting methods was wrong. No other company has kept themselves as honest as Google on environmental things.
It’s a big company with 170k employees. I can name a million examples of it doing shitty things. Like shutting down Inbox. But the environment is far more important to me than some product I didn’t pay for.
Because security through obscurity is not security at all.

It’s true, but note that Allan received a reduced sentence for testifying against the actual mastermind of the fraud, who got 30 years.
I’ve been a big fan of monorepos because it leads to more consistent style and coding across the whole company. It makes the code more transparent so you can see what’s going on with the rest of the company, too, which helps reduce code islands and duplicated work. It enables me to build everything from source, which helps catch bugs that would only show up in prod due to version drift. It also means that I can do massive refactorings across the company without breaking anything.
That said, tooling is slowly improving for decentralized repos, so some of these may be doable on git now/soon.
They just added a fee so that AWS can’t copy it without paying. What’s the big deal.
I just learned about Zig, an effort to make a better C compatible language. It’s been really good so far, I definitely recommend checking it out! It’s early stages for the community, but the core language is pretty developed and is a breath of fresh air compared to C.
