In my experience that's true mostly of large companies that have very standardized interview process. All the startups I worked at so far had some kind of coding question but it was not very leetcode-y and more conversational; Trying to get your thoughts about how you'd solve the problem and assess whether you had the right intuitions about software challenges. I'd encourage you to exercise your network and see if you can find a small to mid-size company that does something interesting to you. You'll likely have a much higher success rate!

I think it's partially true and I definitely fall under the category that hates to sink hours into searching for the best YYY where YYY is a random $30 item. But I don't necessarily want less choice, I just want something/someone I can trust. If I could just believe that the "amazon choice" was actually tested thoroughly and matched a quality standard I can get behind, then I'd happily get the "amazon choice" of most things.

That's the kind of projects we need to get where we need to be in terms of emissions. It won't be easy, but clever solutions where there is real $$ incentives are the ones that can actually be implemented!

Musk is the entrepreneur version of "Move fast; break things" - something like "Make it happen; no matter the cost" kind of guy. Leaving a trail of burnt out/injured employees and other negative externalities is just his way of "getting shit done". Not sure how much or how little impact he'll have in the future direction of Twitter, but if I worked there I'd be a bit concerned!

Not if output was satisfactory before and then drops

Then you'd only ever get candidates that can afford to have a "maybe job" for a while until they get out with no pay check. I'd definitely not work for a company with that arrangement. Unless there is some guarantee they pay you until you land your next thing (within reasonable timeframes).

I'd love if OP had more details on how they ask "great questions that give her a lot of signal about the candidate’s skills while ensuring the candidate always feels comfortable and confident". I hate passing interviews and as a result try my best to be a chill interviewer, but I yet have to find good conversational questions that get me confidence in ones' coding abilities.

Somewhat tangential topic, but ... It's interesting to me how most of the companies with real transformative potential have very little need for (dedicated) software engineers.

I think half of that is that most other engineering professions now come with some non negligible coding skill and the other half is simply that "software can solve anything" is a plain and simple lie.

I can't help but feel a little left out of innovation with "just" software skills. Am I too sorry for myself or is that a shared feeling?

What's the book's name? No wonder sales are slow, you gotta promote that shit :)

The space race was a wild time. "Accessory to War" by Neil DeGrasse Tyson is a fun and easy read that talks about some pretty sketchy things. And it's nothing new either, the whole WW2 showed in full display that leaving the military leverage science is a dangerous pandora box.

Is the expected Linus mobile os experience more of a mini laptop with a touchscreen or are they really going after the Android/iOS feel?

Love the mission! It's also such a glaring light on how broken and stupid the credit system is.

And even then, if prohibition showed one thing is that forbidding alcohol does not prevent alcohol drinking at all :D

Can't one facetime on an appleTV/macMini with a webcam? Or use an ipad Pro?
