"if you did get hired for this role and managed to keep it, you'll be a master at this stuff within a couple of years." I wholeheartedly disagree. I have a total of 14 years of experience. I've been at Google for the past 6 years. I'm an L5 (Senior Engineer) and I get good performance reviews. I interview candidates on a fairly regular basis on behalf of Google. I am fully confident that if I had to re-interview for my job today, without extensive pre-prep like the author suggests, I would have a very slim chance of passing. The fact is, these algorithm quizzes have nothing at all to do with our job. On the off chance once ever 5 years you actually do need to apply an algorithm, you would do extensive study into the possible options and solutions, write a design doc, have it peer reviewed, and then go down that path - not pull something out of your ass in 15 minutes.

Congrats Jared, this is amazing news!

Intellectual property should be taxed. If a company is sitting on a patent waiting for someone to violate it so they can sue for $X amount, the company should be taxed for $X amount of property. It would make owning tons of patents and doing nothing with them practically infeasible.

It's beautiful, well made, and useful. Nicely done.

And now my transaction shows up as cancelled by Google. Fuck you Google, fuck you Google Wallet.

I have a pending charge of $900 in my Google wallet transaction history but no confirmation. It timed out while I was making the purchase, so still not sure.

Information is funny if, when revealed to us, it is either obviously true or obviously false.

I plan on supporting that in the near future. Thanks for checking out the app!
