In my experience its purely random if/when someone will care about that. You just have to do a lot of interviews and if you're still coming up with near optimal solutions in the allotted time you should be okay.

I also do not think Senior Engineers have better mental models of these code trivia questions than Junior Engineers do on average. Seniors spend more time on architecture and facilitating Juniors to be more productive so I dk.

I have never been in an interview where piecing out the problem solving and debugging outside of whatever the IDE/editor of choice was frowned upon.

Maybe they just wanted to see you solve the solution in the pair programming window and thought you were copy/pasting your solutions from someone that was helping you off screen.

WeWork does for office space what companies like Just Works does for HR stuff.

We are a small company that works out of NYC and WeWork is great for New York. Most office leases have a 2-5 year minimum and you have you deal with getting office furniture, janitorial services, etc. It's a LOT of overhead for a small company. Also they let you go month to month or sign up for multiple years at a discount.

Also you don't have to worry about overpaying for office space as wework lets you grow from office to office without having to change your whole office setting slash commute. Its also not HORRIBLE pricing wise if you're okay with having a slightly smaller office space, because it does have a common area with free coffee, milk, beer, etc.

TLDR: WeWork is more than just a sexy startup office space. It also gives you flexibility until you get big enough to be able to need a massive office.

Use Flask-Ask and Zappa and deploy to AWS Lambda. I use that setup and have been running for free on AWS infra for about 6 months now.

I recently contributed to Flask-Ask and have been developing apps for Alexa for a while now. The APIs/Boilerplate code for the `easier way` is definitely harder than Flask-Ask is right now.

I wholeheartedly agree with what you said. There is a time and a place for leaving legacy code alone. I also know from first hand experience some things are just too far down the hacky rabbit hole and you just gotta cut of the dead stuff and start over sometimes. But on the other hand, the only times I've done that in my career the code was written in a very anti-pattern style pretty much against all language guidelines and had hidden side effects everywhere. It was a mess to figure out how some features worked so I just rewrote some features in 1/10th of the time it took the original maintainer to piece in similar bug fixes in the legacy code.

Don't write off saleor though. It's basically fully featured OOTB, all you really have to do is integrate payments and your own AWS setup if you don't wanna use Heroku. Probably easier than using Squarespace and def cheaper. I haven't looked into Shopify or Sellfy though.

It has taxes and configurable shipping costs by region. I was going to use Shopify or Squarespace until I found saleor. I definitely agree with using Etsy first though to gain traction before trying to get higher margins by rolling your own.

Is this on github, I'd love to contribute!

I LOVE THIS MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER BEGIN TO KNOW!

Not that its computationally hard to say is this a naked person (#notahotdog from silicon valley). It's more along the lines of show me all naked pictures of ME on the internet, is probably more computationally hard.

100% related to the Facebook having an algorithm to blacklist photos based on naked photos of ppl. Snapchat has those already for like 35% of its users or something I'd bet.

That is weirdly satisfying to watch...

Clearly the poster was talking about the excessive use of `like` which he deems as the typical vocabulary of a teenage girl which is what you're attempting to be upset by. It had nothing to do with teenage boys being significantly more professional than teenage girls, or anything of the sort.
