Playing with the background I tried to Isolate just the espresso machine and the train sounds in one of their demos and it seemed to fail. Maybe not the desired use case, but I thought it was odd that I could break it so easily on the sample material.

Like much of life it's more complicated than simple rules. It works for some people, but does not for everyone. As someone that has struggled with diet for the last decade or so these drugs have been a life saver. I've been able to eat healthy and feel full instead of being stuck in a cycle of eating right for a while and then eventually breaking under load. I've been able to have a consistency in the last 6 months on the drugs that i never thought I was capable of. I've even been able to build up a weight lifting plan that actually works for me and I feel good after the day.
There are lots of problems with drug reliance still to be worked out, but I'm excited for the chance to rebuild my habits into something good and work my way off to something normal.
Related, exercise is awesome but has little impact on long term weight loss! Check this out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vSSkDos2hzo

IMO it was super good for a first shot! They way over did the software that they used to present the show, but I was super impressed with the polish! I have a feeling they will grow to be much better after some practice!

He left Amazon a few months ago to do a job where he could spend more time focusing on Krazam! Check out the Patreon! They are both getting super serious and are hopefully going to put out more great content soon!

I totally agree that system design questions can be silly sometimes. When I do system design interview questions for senior engineers, I ask a really broad and complex questions and let the candidate drive us towards the system. The point of the interview is evaluating if the candidate can complete those soft skills in a reasonable way. I try to answer basic questions such as these:
Did the candidate just go for design without asking questions?
What questions does the candidate ask?
What areas are they asking questions about?
Can they take critical feedback on their design well?
There is a little bit of discussion on technology choice, but typically if they can justify an out of the norm choice it is fine.
