I thought it was getting consensus.

I'd recommend Alex Wu system design interview books volume 1 and 2. Then Designing data intensive applications. It really gets to the point. Also there is added benefit of being ready for MAANG if that opportunity ever comes up..

I was at a coffee shop in Astoria and it sounded like the subway running under. My first thought was that there is no line under this street (been living here forever). Then I thought maybe a jet liner flew over too close. But then judging by other people's reaction, I realized that this was an earthquake. I had no idea that you can hear earthquakes...

I tried the Vision Pro today at the apple store in Manhattan by Central Park. I used to own a quest pro, but I sold it a year ago since it was catching dust. My expectations were that the passthrough would almost be life like (or much better than oculus). Reality, I couldn't tell the difference. It still looked like I was watching life through a camera.

The UI was also a bit clumsy. I noticed bugs and even the apple employee was stunned how I got a window 'stuck' in a place. It became unresponsive.

Having said that, the 3d spatial videos were spectacular. I did feel like I was almost there. The 3d movies were also amazing and had fairly good colors. Overall it wouldn't replace an OLED tv, but it was impressive.

When I took it off, I was thankful of how clear I can see with my eyes. Everything seemed like '8k'. I guess the Vision Pro is fun, but it was a bit uncomfortable and not really AR imo
