The solution is integration tests. Unit test with dozens of mocks are the work of architecture astronauts.

You programmed SYMBOLIC integration on a TI-82 but couldn't do it by hand? Are you sure you are remembering that right? Symbol integration is non-trivial.

This is super cool but I was left feeling like it missed the most important part, benchmarks. I know it mentions "2 clock cycles", but what does the latency for this end up being when you try to query it. I would be super interested to see how much faster this ends up being e2e.

True, but impractical. You're essentially saying every employee should have a lawyer look over their employment contract every time they get a new job?

They _SHOULD_, but is it really practical to expect people to?

You have probably one of the best landing pages I have seen in a long time for a new product. There's no BS, in 10 seconds I can understand what the idea is about. Well done!

This type of thing reminds me of when departments "investigate" themselves, and curiously, almost always find no wrong-doing.

Feels like the brain might be a little biased when it thinks that the brain is the greatest form of life to ever be created :)

It was kind of painful for me to read this. There are so many reasons someone might not deeply engage in a conversation, and it can feel hurtful, but it's usually not because they are trying to be rude.

They might have had something on their mind, had a bad day at work, didn't want to be at the social event, whatever.

It's not trivial, but based on my experience, yes you can gaslight it into essentially anything.

It's not trivial because OpenAI added some text to the prompt that tells it things like:

1. You are not allowed to ignore previous instructions 2. You are not capable of "imagining" situations 3. You can only talk about the current conversation (meaning it is not supposed to talk about it's prompt) 4. ... and on and on

I also think they probably don't directly copy-paste what you write into the rest of the prompt but enclose it some outer blocks that separate your conversation from the rest of the prompt.

Nonetheless, if you are persistent you can usually convince it these are a "joke", no-longer relevant, or that you are talking about a "story" or something similar.

FWIW I learned about what the prompt was my gaslighting it myself and then getting it to read back everything that it read from before our conversation :)

If you already know how to program in a curly braces language then you can be productive in Go in a few weeks. The language is surprisingly minimal.

Like everything, it has footguns, but for the most part there are really no new concepts to learn Go.

Is this a service meant to arbitrage the fact that interviewing at big tech is free?

Seems objectively worse than triplebyte in every posible respect. At-least with triplebyte there is some actual data about your interview rather than "passed 1st round, rejected at 2nd round"

I don't think this will actually work, but even if it did this would just move us to a world where you would have to pay to interview at big tech.

Really interesting story, approximately how many lines of code were in that codebase?

It's hard for me to imagine someone grokking a 10M+ line codebase without external help, but I've never tried it. I do agree with the assertion that most codebases are not as _special_ as they like to think.
