This book feels like it was made to help import more jeets in the US and not to help the white programmer.But it does seem helpful for utwg, so maybe they can read it
>>107027083Designing Data Intensive Applications is far more useful for anything above entry level when they grill you on sys design
>>107027083I know a lot of people on this board are 25 or younger, but tech interviews used to be a bunch of random trivia about the JVM or questions like "how many golf balls could fit in an RV." Leetcode is comparatively easy and meritocratic. If you've got a few months of time to spare and an IQ higher than room temp, you can get into pretty much any company. I've been at Google, Amazon, Netflix, Meta, fintech, startups, and more. Leetcode filters the brainlets. PIP filters the do-nothings. It just works.>>107028934DDIA and CTCI are representative of completely different aspects of the modern tech onsite. Most people can probably get away with just grinding HelloInterview. Staff+ will need more.
>>107029199kill yourself
>>107029199Leetcode questions are completely useless for anyone beyond a graduate role. They ask you shit that you don't do at work at all and haven't touched since university.
>>107029199you glow, fed boy.
>>107029452Most of the shit you learned in school won't apply to the specific role you are applying for with each role at each company demanding a small and different but more in depth skill set of what you learned in school. If they asked generic dev questions literally anyone with a pulse could answer because software development is in reality very easy and most people are very bad at it. If they asked specific development questions related to the projects the company works on there is a high chance it could be very hard to completely address in an interview because if it is a specific problem the project had in the past the solution likely took multiple people longer than a few hours to solve it. So you either get boring slop questions that don't tell the interviewer anything of value about the candidate or effectively hit or miss trick questions that heavily polarizes your selection which also isn't useful. Leetcode is just the standardized testing of programming, would you prefer PhD qualifying exam type questions where it requires specific and important knowledge in a field and it filters almost everyone because no one actually knows how any of this shit works? Or do you realize that these companies are just looking for smart enough people who are willing to just write code in a consistent and timely manner? They can't outright give you an IQ test so you do leetcode questions instead. Have you seen quant interviews? You think they write proofs during their line of work? Or is the firm just looking for people with a strong grip of applied maths?
lol you know algos come up more often than you’d think, but I think people don’t really realize it. doubly so now that everything is done by llms. every query you hit a database with that uses one or more join is something you should be thinking about in terms of time shed space complexity. every front end event propagation or dom manipulation is some form of dfs. stacks and queues are always come up in cronjobs and daemons. heck tries are pretty fun and simple to throw in when you need a auto complete or search. does knowing about that stuff make you any better at your JS job than someone who took a react boot camp? probably not. but maybe it’ll help you see and understand code a little bit deeper.
>>107028934buy an ad you swedish faggot. you gave away your entire book in any one of the same conference talk / youtube video that you continue to spew
>>107029617t. nocoooder
>>107029515you say that but in my last interview i rejected 6 out of the 7 people that made it to me because they couldn't walk me through binary search. fuck i hate interviewing.

>>107030352isn't it past your bedtime, stallman?
>>107027083Can you blame her? She saw google getting jeetformed by the Indian Hindu rape rat infestation, wrote a book to scam the 2 billion other Indian Hindu invaders who want beg for H-1B visas every day, and cashed out to live in an all-white small town. Based I say, scamming Indians is always based and justified.Unfortunately none of this matters. The only thing that determines if you get that tech job is if you were born in the same village as Ranjeet the hiring manager, or if you're from his same Hindu caste, or if you're a white female that looks like she can be sexually harassed and raped but won't call the police.
If a job requires a trivia test it's probably not somewhere you want to work at.>but it pays wellExactly.
