Where was he arguing for Communism? Do you believe pro-labor == Communism? Your post reads as knee-jerk and paranoid

Yes but it doesn't matter, it's a skill you gain and lose with repetition. I have seen many people without formal compsci training pick it up quickly

They clearly layout their interview process and even have a video series on YouTube explaining how to pass it. It is not difficult but time-consuming to learn their interview "language"

Leetcode screens are a matter of grinding for a couple of weeks

This is a strength of theirs. They have a very strong maintenance program called TechOps

I agree that McKinsey sucks, just pointing out that it's the only one with a facade of prestige (anecdotally)

The only consulting firm I've ever heard spoken of somewhat favorably is McKinsey (and then only by ex-McKinsey people)

Anecdotally: a lot! I find it very useful for practicing IFR procedures and approaches. You can connect it to an external comm service like Vatsim and a real human will even give you vectors and clearances! (They, too, are using it for realistic practice for a job with air traffic control)

My first winter in NYC was very rough and I didn't understand why at first. I got a blood test at the doc and he said my vitamin D was very low. I committed to walking in the sun at least a half hour a day, weather permitting, and I never really had issues again. Part of the issue was I was spending a lot of time walking outside but not in sunlight due to the tall buildings. Just my anecdotal 2c

The level of craftsmanship they brought to this game really blew me away. Many open-world games have a feeling of emptiness or a lot of pointless content to fill in their map. Not so for Elden Ring - every area feels like they added something meaningful and interesting. Exploring is very rewarding

I appreciate this comment. I understand that there is a lot I'll never know or understand because I'm on the other side of the wall. I agree that much of the blame lies with Russia/Putin but I still feel that there is more that the West could have done to prevent disaster. Putin is a mad dog with nuclear capabilities and there's no telling where the future is headed now
