random question but were you like active/founder of binarysearch.io?
I helped write their contests, the founders were Lawrence and Jae
heady perch
name just looks familiar but I might just be misremebering
Basically they were between jobs and made binary search as a side project
When they got full time offers they basically quit
I offered to buy it, but they wanted 100k, which was a bit steep for me
junior condor
Yeah I always wondered what happened to it
heady perch
Like I couldn't prove monetization
junior condor
Well you would be directly competing with leetcode then right?

One of binary search's main draws was that it was free, and if I ran it and made it Leetcode discord premium, it might have died anyways
junior condor
yeah probably
heady perch
Well you would be directly competing with leetcode then right?
I would essentially have been gambling $100k lol
High chance it dies and I lose out
Low chance it becomes big and I become a multimillionaire
junior condor
Yup, anyways cool randomly seeing you. I knew your name looked familiar

junior condor

We also help out with technical interviews as well 🙂
Although there's a larger available niche in usaco coaching than in tech interview coaching so we mostly focus on that
junior condor
USACO coaching = lots of $$ from rich parents
So I'd assume there is way more money per person in that vs technical interviews, but you probably know the market better

USACO coaching = money from rich parents
interview coaching = no money from broke new grads, but huge amounts of money from desperate senior engineers job hopping
but I'm not well set up to tap into the juiciest areas of the interview coaching market
the people willing to pay like $500/hr
[who do exist]
heady perch

DM me though
manic wagon
do you play poker?
