[proud crag]

leetcode is complex stuff, takes a while to learn it all

this is something u can learn the tricks to in an afternoon

[jaunty cove]

iq gap

[proud crag]

if iq tests mattered i would grind the shit out of them

[jaunty cove]

Lol

its a lot like recognizinf sequences i think

hi

[proud crag]

hi

[clever grail]

@sinful locust what’s your zetamac

[sinful locust]

trash, it was like 55-60, haven't done it in 2 months

bout to start again soon

@clever grail stop flxing on me

[proud crag]

@clever grail whats ur zetamac

[clever grail]

flexing is bad

[proud crag]

double digit or triple digit

[clever grail]

double

[proud crag]

we are equally good

[clever grail]

🐐

[clever grail]

[sinful locust]

linkedin ghosting

[clever grail]

NOOOOOO

[proud crag]

citadel actually needs engineers to be fair

[low vale]

im like halfway through creating this compiler

for a fake language

[sinful locust]

lol

[sinful locust]

nice

[low vale]

lowkey kinda fun

[proud crag]

linkedin could just stop making new shit tomorrow

[clever grail]

put zetamac score in your linkedin headline

[proud crag]

zetamac should replace every other hiring bar

[sinful locust]

true

their senior engineers are lame

dont know what O(V) is vs O(V+E) for dfs time complexity

[proud crag]

me either

its all linear to me

[clever grail]

.

[proud crag]

but if you dont know heapify is a linear time operation you deserve to be fired on the spot

or what a deque is

[fervent flax]

is that the gif you get for getting hired? pog

[slow ore]

did uberstar close applications

[woeful lynx]

Yeah. Empty email with just one gif… and when you click on the gif you see your offer letter😎

Update: this is not true… (sorry if it sounded real)

[fervent flax]

sheesh

[fervent flax]

why are you still no offer 😢 Lol

[woeful lynx]

I always clicked on the wrong gif 😦

[fervent flax]

Lol

oof

[woeful lynx]

How did you find 1k companies? I am way way way below that and I applied to nearly everything I came across 😅😅

[slow ore]

which frosh ones are open (other than explore/step/metauni)

[candid umbra]

wtf

andrew tang actually gifted

[proud crag]

to be fair all of his talents are pretty related

lighting brain that is also smart-ish lends to aimlabs, ultrabullet, zetamac

but yeah hes nuts at everythng he touches

[candid umbra]

wait he’s good at aimlabs?

[proud crag]

100k score gridshot

346 now, your message was out of date

[candid umbra]

100k gridshot 0.o

his pattern recognition is lighting fast ig

[atomic willow]

damn anyone else just hoping for one offer?

[proud crag]

https://youtu.be/UgUFwZZspNs?t=49

[jaunty cove]

are the best chess players the ones with the best intuition and creativity or the ones who can basically perform minimax in their brain

[proud crag]

@candid umbra

[candid umbra]

sugoi

[candid umbra]

id say there’s a good range of ppl in both spectrums

[proud crag]

u gotta have both

in terms of raw calculating power i think ppl say nepo is the best

but magnus is the best at evaluating who is favored in a position from what i have ehard

[candid umbra]

magnus in endgames are scary

[proud crag]

as the famous saying goes: play the opening like an engine, the middlegame like an engine, and the endgame like an engine

[candid umbra]

LMAO

[jaunty cove]

play the midgame like paul morphy and there will be no end game

[somber solstice]

bro zetamac is so fun wtf

[jaunty cove]

Yea

division is so easy for me now

multiplication is hardest

[proud crag]

what strat do u do for mult

[jaunty cove]

Unless theres an obvious trick

I just foil it

Which takes forever

[proud crag]

left to right

is what they usually say

12x45 is 480 + 60

then u go 540

i think colin means calculating power

[somber solstice]

just got 38 woo

[somber solstice]

foil ?

first outer inner last

?

[jaunty cove]

yes

55 * 31 = 50 * 30 + 50 * 1 + 5 * 30 + 5 * 1

[somber solstice]

ohhh i see

for 55 * 31 i would probably just 55 * 30 + 55

which is (55 * 3 * 10) + 55

foil makes sense tho

[sinful locust]

DUCCC

we need to play chess one day

im trash

[jaunty cove]

view from a balcony pool lit up blue lawn chairs next to the ice chest stuffed two grams in the blunt that we just blew now im getting blown by a bitch who i dont know her name

[low vale]

'who i dont know her name'

[jaunty cove]

top 5 songs ever

[low vale]

above the song that says 'blow me like a cello'?

[jaunty cove]

idk that one

[proud crag]

too slow

[jaunty cove]

what else can you do

[proud crag]

u can skip steps

let me type

55x31 is 11x15+zero=1650, add 55

[jaunty cove]

its trivial

[woeful lynx]

I can do it in O(1) 😎

[proud crag]

that might take a while to notice u can do 55x3=11x15 tho

[jaunty cove]

Wtf

is that

[proud crag]

i would probably just do 50x3+5x3, then add a zero, then add 55

150+15=165, add zero, then add 55

1705

u should make adding 55 one step no matter how you do it, since 55x1 is just 55

rather than add 50 then add 5

[jaunty cove]

idk

how tht works

[jaunty cove]

what is 50x3

and adding 55

[proud crag]

50x3 is 150

[jaunty cove]

yes

why

would u do that

[proud crag]

sorry i dont understand the question, if ur wondering where that came from its because i takr the 0 off the 30

55x3 is easier than 55x30

and u just append a zero

[jaunty cove]

Yea

thats how i would do 55x30

[proud crag]

so thats pretty fast

[jaunty cove]

getting it

[proud crag]

15, 165append0+55=1705

1-2 seconds to brain it, then gotta type it too

[jaunty cove]

thats fast

[somber solstice]

the *12's are hard

55 * 31 ??

u be getting that shit fr

damnn

division is the HARDEST

[jaunty cove]

no once u get the pattern

divison is hella easy

[somber solstice]

do u do multiplication range of

2,12 and 2,100

or should i do 2,100 and 2,100

hmmm

[jaunty cove]

i just do the default

isnt that what most people do

[somber solstice]

i see

im doing default too

[proud crag]

there are tricks

u will get division

also remember our algorithms for mental math are nondeterministic. we might solve fast but also might get tripped up and have to try a new approach

tang took 3ish seconds on a few of the questions

which is pretty slow when average is 1/second for hom

[somber solstice]

who is tang

the chess gm

[proud crag]

hes the penguingm1 in the yt vid i sent

yeah

[jaunty cove]

penguinz0

[proud crag]

chess gm but the more impressive feat is him being the best ultrabullet player in the world

[somber solstice]

:o

[proud crag]

he beat leela chess zero in ultrabullet

[somber solstice]

idk anything abt chess

[proud crag]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWgvtg359HU

[somber solstice]

but my roommate is rated like

2000 something

but he doesnt rly play chess that much

[proud crag]

ok

let me explain

do you play smash bros

[somber solstice]

no

[proud crag]

ok then ill just explain in elo

[jaunty cove]

is ultrabullet 1 + 1

or somthing

[proud crag]

15+0

[jaunty cove]

Lmfao

[proud crag]

the wya it works is if you are 400 points ahead of someone else in elo, you are expected to beat them 100% of the time and never even tie (ties happen a lot when people are similar skill, and consistently beating someone and never tieing is crazy hard). the best engines are so good that they are 800 points above the best humans @somber solstice

chess is very draw heavy when both ppl have a lot of time to prepare. fabiano vs magnus chess championship was 12 draws in 12 games, then they had to move to tie breaks in faster game modes

so a robot that can beat magnus nearly 100% of the time will lose to the best stockfish nearly 100% of the time

[somber solstice]

i see

[jaunty cove]

alphazero is rated 4650

Lmfao

Nvm

[proud crag]

alphazero doesnt exist anymore i thought

stockfish is best at 3600ish

and LC0 is similar to stockfish

[jaunty cove]

wdym it doesnt exist anymore

[proud crag]

google made it and then scrapped it

it was never open source

lc0 is alphazero but open source

[jaunty cove]

jhm

interesting

cant tell if the people saying "alpha zero didnt beat stockfish fairly" are coping or rigth

[proud crag]

sort of

for one thing, stockfish didnt get an opening book

but more improtantly, stockfish is open source and uses the best of everything

neural networks became the best way to play chess, so stockfish incorporated it and is now the best again

[candid umbra]

wait i forgot is stock fish based on raw calculation whereas lc0 was trained with NN

[proud crag]

because open source trumps everything

stockfish is both now

becuase both is best

[candid umbra]

oh

[proud crag]

nerds volunteering their time creates the best things humanity has

[candid umbra]

but back when alphazero clapped stockfish it didn’t rely on NN right

[jaunty cove]

woah

[proud crag]

yeah, NN was completely novel

[candid umbra]

gg

[jaunty cove]

i just found out i have a project due tonight to write 2-5 pages about some open source software

[proud crag]

thats why it made so mant headlienes

[jaunty cove]

now i know what my otpic is

[proud crag]

lOL

[candid umbra]

LMAO

[proud crag]

wait

use openai sandbox

[jaunty cove]

yea to write the essay

about openai

[candid umbra]

openai is so op

[jaunty cove]

nvm

is open ai open source

its not right

[proud crag]

its not

what i mean is

write a 5 page paper about the chess engine stockfish, and how it relates to open source software.

Stockfish is a powerful and open source chess engine. It is developed by a team of strong chess players and programmers and is one of the most popular chess engines in the world.

Stockfish is based on the open source chess engine Glaurung, and has been heavily improved over the years. It has a very strong chess playing ability and has won many computer chess tournaments.

Stockfish is available for free under the GNU General Public License. It can be used on any chess interface, such as Chessbase, Arena, or Fritz.

There are many strong chess engines available today, but Stockfish remains one of the best. It is constantly being improved by its developers, and is sure to remain a top chess engine for many years to come.

[jaunty cove]

Lol

[proud crag]

i kept it too short

[jaunty cove]

and then do the same for the body paragraph

[proud crag]

rn i am doing it for 5 pages

[candid umbra]

lmfao

[fluid sequoia]

gg

[proud crag]

ok it only maxes out at 1600 characters sadly

here

[fluid sequoia]

openai playground too op

[proud crag]

@jaunty cove

[jaunty cove]

thanks

[proud crag]

ur fucking welcome

[jaunty cove]

👍

[proud crag]

i love this

so much

[jaunty cove]

i wish i had this when i was still taking stupid humanities GEs

[proud crag]

i got a second phoen as well so i could get another free trial

not for that purpose tho lol, thats just a second benefir

[jaunty cove]

wait im on a free trial rn?

[proud crag]

3 month or when u run out of tokens yeah

the pricing is kinda small tho i think?

https://openai.com/api/pricing/

[jaunty cove]

is a token just one request

nvm

ok

[proud crag]

that prompt cost me 8 cents if i pay i guess

[jaunty cove]

thats worth it

lmao

[proud crag]

tbh worth, even though thats an order of magnitude more expensive than the rest

next most expensive is .8 cents for 4k tokens

.2 cents and .16 cents for the rest

that cents not dollars

like u could do the prompt 100 times and cost 20 cents

[jaunty cove]

that saved me what

3 hours of mindless writing a

[proud crag]

and of course u can use the paragraphs as prompts as well

[somber solstice]

besides bare essentials and some nice living stuff

what do you do with a lot of money ?

not like big business money

like just swe money

[jaunty cove]

travel

[somber solstice]

retire early?

[jaunty cove]

invest

[somber solstice]

ye makes sense

travel is good

[jaunty cove]

the rest gets spent by gf

[somber solstice]

ngl, i dont have much i want to do

i just wnat to never worry abt money

[jaunty cove]

lol

[somber solstice]

and then do fun stuff

[jaunty cove]

yea

[somber solstice]

i never want to have money be my limiting factor for a purchase

if i want ill get it

cuz i dont rly want any expensive

i hope

[proud crag]

having disposable income jsut makes ur life so much easier

if u want to drop 10k on a pilots license u can jsut do that

[somber solstice]

ye thats rly nice

ngl

[jaunty cove]

or just not be stressed out when something goes wrong

[proud crag]

yeah

[jaunty cove]

like "if my car breaks down im fucked"

[proud crag]

having 401k maxed

is so nice

and also a rainy day fund

the BEST part tho

[somber solstice]

yeah

that makes sense

[proud crag]

is a 6 month cushion

if u have that then u can quit ur job whenever u want and not worr

[somber solstice]

i think one day i will just drop a shit ton of money on keyboard tho 😭

[proud crag]

u have 3 montsh to de-stress after burnout, and 3 more to grind leetcode for interviews

[somber solstice]

maybe if i can score big job, i will drop like 2k on a keyboard

[somber solstice]

leetcode = destress

[jaunty cove]

Lol

[proud crag]

3 more months if pip got u out of the previous job

[jaunty cove]

how do u even spend 2k on a keyboard

[somber solstice]

buying fancy parts

[proud crag]

keyboards are the biggest waste of money imo

spend it on a 360hz 1ms 4k monitor

[somber solstice]

no thx

im not a gamer

[proud crag]

spend it on an ultrawide then

[jaunty cove]

there are those cherry mx and stuff like that for cheap

[proud crag]

for ultra productivity

[somber solstice]

cherry mx 🤮

ultrawide might be fun

[proud crag]

arent all switches cherry mx

[somber solstice]

maybe ill drop a lot on a home theater setup

[somber solstice]

oh no

[proud crag]

and different colors

[somber solstice]

dont go down the rabbithole

[proud crag]

cherry mx blue, red, brown, etc

[somber solstice]

dont do it

the endgame of keyboards is membrane tho

[proud crag]

all i know is mx clear is cracked, and sanwas are garbage

[somber solstice]

😭

[jaunty cove]

stockfish is cracked wow

[random mauve]

are mxkeys good

i have an mxkeys keyboard rn, idk where to go beyond this

[somber solstice]

there's um

gateron switches

[jaunty cove]

if u cant tell it probably doesnt matter

[somber solstice]

outemu switches

[proud crag]

arent gaterons garbage

[jaunty cove]

Lol

[somber solstice]

no gaterons are rly solid

in fact rly good

for the upper ends

outemus are cheaper

[proud crag]

all i know is for ssbm box controllers gaterons are bad and mx clear is best

[somber solstice]

but they have a rly fancy line

[somber solstice]

maybe for ssbm box

but gaterons are rly rly good

like gat ink blacks cost quite a bit

[proud crag]

whats the force graph

[somber solstice]

and this is all before the like

REALLY weird ones

like there's boba u4t

and bobagums

and holy pandas

the frankenswitch path is 💀

[proud crag]

sanwas are the worst

do you see this shit

[spice jetty]

theyre sexy

[somber solstice]

i mean that can easily be changed with a spring change

[random mauve]

what's the next best thing?

[proud crag]

left is mx clear, right is gateron red. both seem good, i understand why clear is best for melee tho

top is clear*

u want a clean press with no in between for melee

[somber solstice]

that's like, completely different for keyboards

i mean sorta

keyboards u pick whatver u like

there's no objectively best

[proud crag]

eyah

yeah

although u dont want mushy keys

[candid umbra]

i got a custom with the loudest switches i could find

which was box jade

[jaunty cove]

i forgot how to make an MLA header

Lol

[hardy patrol]

bros brain is 90% graph traversal and sliding window

[spice jetty]

idt u can do better unless u dig around

[jaunty cove]

Whats uml

[clever grail]

where u get sitties

[low vale]

a way of drawing diagrams

[hardy patrol]

"responds quickly"

im certain im on the tech blacklist for something

[jaunty cove]

Yes

[wicked bison]

whats the best cuny school for cs

[hardy patrol]

im incredibly mediocre at academics so im the last person to ask

[wicked bison]

baruch is business

[hardy patrol]

"whats the best cuny for cs"
"baruch but it doesnt have cs"

[wicked bison]

alright! hunter it is

[hardy patrol]

if he ends up in my class im going to track you down krishna

[jaunty cove]

i heard cuny students need tutoring

who wants tutoring

[sinful locust]

stop

ive been waiting on datadog for like a month

lmao

if u get rejected apply to two more lol

[jaunty cove]

i will tutor for 99 an hour

[random tide]

biggest lie in the world

[past comet]

robinhood ?

[wooden hazel]

what's the best way to ask a company to potentially shift a summer offer to off season (specifically the spring before)?

or if anyone has done it before, could they share

I guess but i want to strategize it

don't want to say something ridiculous that potentially ruins any sort of chance

ah

[jaunty cove]

the more you overthink it the more likely you are to say sometjjng weird

[wooden hazel]

alright thanks yall ill just go for it then

with something reasonable

[sonic oxide]

has anyone done the paypal hackerrank OA for SWE intern?

yes pls

word, do u know if there are any similar leetcode problems

[hardy patrol]

yea

[sonic oxide]

to the ones on the OA

word

how good/bad is 780 on codesignal?

[past comet]

they ressponded quickly for me

[sonic oxide]

whats a good score

[past comet]

820+

[sonic oxide]

F

[hardy patrol]

how quick cause they didnt reject me either

[past comet]

< 1 day and got my karat scheduled

[hollow sun]

bb or bb

2 type of mans

[coarse marten]

bb london u mean

I doubt bb frankfurt is hiring interns

idk

I'm not working at bb :waz:

it is

nice for an internship just to get resume value

tho

[elfin adder]

why bloomberg hires so many ppl

everyone always talks about them

[coarse marten]

it doesn't mean bb hires a lot

I don't see the implication

same could be said for google

[elfin adder]

true Ig i’m more confused why people talk so much about bloomberg

[coarse marten]

pay is decent (at least in eu), bb brand name is good

tech stack is decent from what I heard, just no documentation

[tardy ridge]

anyone here know if datadog sends out rejection emails

after final round

[mystic depot]

https://tenor.com/view/crying-girl-crying-girl-hamster-crying-hamster-crying-hamster-gif-25336035

fr

[vernal plover]

Is "toy algorithm problem" a particular kind of interview question?

[coarse marten]

si?

[elfin adder]

i didn’t say that

[coarse marten]

maybe, idk

[elfin adder]

oh damn I thought bloomberg was just news company lol

[coarse marten]

[elfin adder]

that makes a lot more sense

[coarse marten]

bb has a monopole

so in terms of job security, you should be good

if you join bb

I personnaly would prefer working somewhere else tho

it would be a downgrade for me to join bb

unless it's bb US

[hollow sun]

[coarse marten]

If you try to get into algo trading firms, bb is a very good name

the pipeline bb -> quant firms is real

[golden root]

bb doesnt have hackerrank tf?

thoughts on SIG vs BB (swe both internship) for hft growth ?

[coarse marten]

sig fs

unless it's bb us and sig dublin

[vernal plover]

what's bb

[golden root]

I heard bad things about SWE for SIG tho.. like pay is almost half of what bloomberg is I believe (for new grad)

[vernal plover]

blackberry? 😬

[coarse marten]

for US?

[golden root]

Yes?

[coarse marten]

I doubt, but I might be wrong

are you in the pipeline with them?

[proud crag]

that puts full time pay under intern pay doesnt it lol

[pseudo orbit]

BOG

[golden root]

its like ~110k new grad (in PA) vs ~200k return for bb new grad (nyc)

[proud crag]

interns are 50/hr and bloomberg is not 220k

[golden root]

thats intern and I said almost double

[sinful locust]

personally i would do bb

[golden root]

yea thats what Im thinking

[coarse marten]

https://www.levels.fyi/internships/SIG/Software-Engineer-Intern/

[golden root]

thats for quant trader

[proud crag]

wait wtf

theyre all Pennsylvania

[sinful locust]

yes

in bala cynwd

or some shit

[coarse marten]

mr altf4

[coarse marten]

mr zenit, how is the grind going

[proud crag]

thats the name of a fantasy novel's cursed forest, not a real city

[coarse marten]

I doubt it's only 110k for new grads

maybe just the base

[golden root]

Ok maybe 120-130k~ but still around there

https://www.levels.fyi/companies/susquehanna-international-group/salaries/software-engineer?yoeChoice=junior

[proud crag]

thats still garbage territory

u can judge a finance company by how they treat their software engineers 😭

gandhi actually said that

well he said "The greatness of a nation can be judged by how it treats its weakest member", but its basically the same thing

[coarse marten]

ok, maybe it sucks yeah

[sinful locust]

stop calling x or y tc garbage lmao

people work at those incomes so respect it

[proud crag]

im not saying the ppl earning it is garbage

the company is garbage

for not repecting their engieners

[sinful locust]

then dont work there?

[proud crag]

a company like SIG has no excuse to not pay double that to every engineer

they do that for their traders

[golden root]

supposedly they value the traders way, way more and pay them A LOT.. (since they are technically the ones making the money/future of the company)

[sinful locust]

they do yeah

they pay them well

[proud crag]

yeah

[proud crag]

the best and non-boomerest finance places value their engineers more

do i get penalized for trying codesignal 3

like if i have 40+ mins left and did 1,2,4, and then spend 10 mins on 3 but only get half the cases, is that better than auto submitting at 1,2,4

lots of places pay them similarly pewdsss, but also many of us are gunning for both

[coarse marten]

Yes but not that much. If you need to return a boolean and you know you will not be able to solve q3, write return true and submit

[proud crag]

ok sweet, other than that i should stick to the main strat of "only look at 3 if u did the rest and have 40+ mins left, always submit the test if u have 20 mins left"?

mental math, probability, sequences, miscellaneous brainteasers

[grand dagger]

why would they need an excuse

[proud crag]

maybe pure math too dependinf on who

[coarse marten]

depends on yourself if you believe you will be able to solve q3 or not

[proud crag]

if i think i can is it worth finishing all questions even if i have less than 20 mins left

[coarse marten]

fs

[grand dagger]

of problems solved is the most important metric

[proud crag]

ok sure

[grand dagger]

imo retaking until you get all 4 is better than not looking at 3

[proud crag]

1,2,5,13,34,_

what come next

or 2,3,5,8,12,17,_

or 1,3,6,11,18,29,_

this is a hard one to be fair, just came up with it to flex

89 comes next

its every other fibonacci number

they would give easy and hard ones, like 2,4,8,16_ and 0,1,3,6,10,15,21_ too

qt i think, idk tho

rfqjobs and also organic chemistry tutor has an hour long vid that helps too

@tepid forge

[somber solstice]

gpa doenst matter gg

[clever grail]

neglect uni

[golden root]

my gpa is doodoo thats how

[somber solstice]

or sacrifice social life (not that u should have one as a cs major)

[proud crag]

gpa doesnt matter except for some resume screens

[somber solstice]

tuff

[gentle scroll]

not for 95% of jobs

[somber solstice]

sadge

no quant for me y'all

he will never get into quant

[proud crag]

how much did u sacrifice

sometiems gpa cant be salvaged

[golden root]

I thought most top tier firms only really accept 3.7+? at least for early career

[proud crag]

who says that

british "people"

source? citadel will screen the shit out of you if you have 10 years exp and 3.499999 gpa

what gpa pjppoied

unis are good, high school and below is what sucjks

and also it only sucks if its a poor neighborhood (because propertty taxes fund schools)

i have medium tech internship and 3.39 and t50 school and js resume rejected

so yeah gpa prolly

[golden root]

Gpa kind of antiquated nowadays tho.. like different schools have completely different grading standards.. only good for comparing students at same school

[plush girder]

Someone I know had none and is a swe at js now

depends

[proud crag]

u think if i have google and top 10 then not rejected

[plush girder]

a lot of factors at play

nope, not even close

[proud crag]

what if i had google and still top 50

[golden root]

what was your background to get interview ?

[proud crag]

what school and gpa to get past screen sophomore

top x?

makes sense why they recruit then

[golden root]

you had no prior internship ?

[proud crag]

You need to draw a line to partition the box into two pieces?

Where about half of the circles are fully contained in each side?

Or just the center

[proud crag]

what is a bounding g boox

[uneven sand]

that should be good enough for 849 (for time)

[jaunty cove]

Can the line be drawn at any angle?

This reminds me of a support vector machine

shitposting correlates to swe ability

it's just a negative correlation

idk linkedin ro rate this year

usually it's 90%+

so even if it's lower it's probably not that bad

should be better next year

my team seems kinda high impact so hopefully that means better chance at ro

i think pretty much all backend teams are java

[sinful locust]

screw linkedin

[uneven sand]

but my team owns the communication infra

which drives 50% of their traffic apparently

[late terrace]

@sinful locust hello

[sinful locust]

yo what’s up

[uneven sand]

apparently linkedin's tech stack kinda sucks

according to blind

well most of the complaints were frontend but i think some people were complaining about linkedin mostly using in-house stuff that wasn't that great

[sinful locust]

maybe the only good thing about linkedin is the NG package

and culture

how is it low impact

it can be high

which is why you can’t say low either

it can drive business indirectly

you can’t expect devs to have good output with shitty systems

You can always demonstrate impact

before and after metrics are the simplest way

[real sedge]

Didn't they make Kafka tho?

I thot they had a decent backend

[uneven sand]

yea they have that

[late terrace]

in regards to?

amazon and meta have faster progressions

[uneven sand]

i think linkedin's backend is probably fine for the most part

their frontend is weird i think

they use something based off of ember.js iirc

[real sedge]

Oh def

I have a friend who works there

He was building out a new product

And had to use ember 💀
