thanks!

hey Dave,

what would you recommend if someone wanted to go from nothing (maybe some softw. experience) to be able to do a hardware design like this? Is there any book/courses you consider to be a must?

Would you consider a non-senior for this position?

thanks

Use selenium.py, it is by far the easiest and scalable solution out there. (believe me I have tried everything, beautiful soup, request.py, scrapy.py ... )

Oh I see.

Excellent content. I was surfing your web page and it seems ridiculous interesting. Tomorrow I will read everything, do you make all your source code available ?

I just came across this link, it is a very intuitive and well-written explanation about the subject.

I also want to add my 2 cents on that. I am terrible at white-board/ phone interviews but recently I think I was able to crack at it, and here are my thoughts about it:

- go to the root of the problem, run some examples by hand and try to think as a computer. e.g., I was at apple interview and there was this trick question that could be solved using a modified version of binary search. When I ran some example I kept asking myself "if I know that this element in the middle of the matrix is smaller (or larger) than X, what does that mean?"

- be very comfortable about big O notation. If necessary, be ready to present some formula.

- show that you can do the brute force solution. Sometimes the brute force solution seems very stupid (e.g., enumerate all possible subsets and find the best one), but you need to say it!

- most of all, be confident, but not arrogant. It is not the end of the world to not know something, but it is important to show what you do know!
