- vote At what age does intellect stop increasing? This is something I’ve actually been thinking about a lot. FB is my first job out of college and while I’m enjoying it, I realized college was likely the last “constant intellectual exercising” I’ll likely have. I also realized in college towards my senior year I didn’t feel as quick or adept as bei
- Finding challenges that satisfy intellect. I've been working on some hard problems for a while. But what makes them hard is sheer scale rather than the problem themselves. I'm not excited about solving the problem anymore as it's just about scale at this point, although scale makes a great story to tell. I'm trying to find what would be inte
- How much of interviews is raw intellect? I’ve done around 200 leetcode problems in my college career but I still can’t crack new problems in ~half an hour. Am I facing an IQ bottleneck? Is there ever a point where everything gets significantly easier?
- How is intellect design arena for tech roles? Haven't really heard much about them here. YOE 13 Tc 32Lpa
- vote Getting asked a LC hard Do you feel angry when a L3 kid flexes their intellect by asking you a LC hard on an interview?
- link Great podcast about tech and innovation https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/general-intellect-unit/id1304361213?mt=2
- vote Brutal Reality - School Matters If you don’t go to top schools for various reasons (price, location, personal) no matter how smart you are, you must work 2x as hard to level the playing field or do something extraordinary to stand out. Bob at Stanford simply needs to graduate, Billy at small State U needs to spend his years buil
- link Are you dating again? Seems like the world is almost back to normal and I’m going all in on dating in April. What apps are you using? Are you finding success? I wish Blind had some sort of dating function, tbh. I’m not an engineer but like the hustle + intellect that is part of the blind culture. Would love to hear what
- Terrible Compass realtor!!! My Compass realtor is a terrible agent. She and her manager are lazy, non hustlers and self proclaimed ethical agents! My agent asked me to offer 1.9 for a house that appraised for 1.56. It was my wife’s and my intellect that we reduced to 1.775. This is also 200K above appraisal! 1. We have asked
- vote BLIND should have a dating site too Title says it all. Blinders connect well with each other and most of the time share similar intellect and interests. And there are way too many singles/heart broken rich blinders here, desperate for love when COVID has put a hold on offline dating. #dating #relationships Blind tax - 43LPA
- Netapp - yay or nay? Guys, anyone who works for Netapp Sunnyvale here? If so, can you help me with these questions: 1. What’s exciting and new in Netapp? 2. What is the company culture like at Netapp? 3. How is Netapp coping up with the industry moving away from box storage to public cloud ? 4. What’s the general i
- vote How smart and driven are the people you work with? I've come across some intellects and ambitious folks in the firm but there are also those who just don't tick. I'm curious how they got in. Maybe I'm being too judgemental, but what ya'll think?
- vote Square vs Stripe Which company is better to be at as an engineer? Stripe Pros: Faster valuation growth historical. Great APIs, developer good will. Related: better brand name in SV. Translates to easier recruiting. Collison brothers lauded as genius level intellects. Jack Dorsey comes off as derpy in interviews.
- vote Do you prefer to work with Male or Female managers Woman are just as qualified as men for ANY position. Intellect doesn't have a gender and I strongly believe that we need for women/minorities in Tech. Good, now that that's out of the way... Do you have a gender preference for management? It's a fact that different genders have different leadership
- What would you do if you were Mackenzie? What'd you do if you were her? She spent her life building this amazing company with her husband who ended up cheating on her. She is smart, intelligent and very accomplished. Money of course is not a problem. Her accomplishments firmly speak for her intellect and resolve which makes her way better
- Fuck it. Let's change the world Tired of working on squeezing that last cent out of showing people ads.. and in general working on shit that just doesn't matter under the guise of "changing the world". What a fucking waste of human intellect. Let's REALLY change the world. I'm in Seattle. Hit me up if you want to team up and wo
- To our colleagues in India: Stay strong!! 🇮🇳 To our colleagues in India dealing with their health crisis - we want you to know that you are not alone and that we are with you in your battle! If there is anyway that we can help let us know. If you need someone to talk to, feel free to dm me or anyone else who offers their support! We love ou
- Autism/Asperger’s in tech: resources? I have diagnosed ASD. Managed to make it work since my teens through sheer effort, luck and by compensating heavily with intellect/memorizing “rules” where others have built-in social intuition. However it feels like it’s really coming in the way as my job becomes more and more about people. I keep
- What efforts are being made to avoid leetcode type homogenous cult from developing I see the kind of leetcode being asked at some companies only optimize for certain type of intellect, which is why we see only young college grads can crack it. Even experienced guys need to practice a lot to crack the #leetcode thus creating a cult which only accepts their types. So to avoid this w
- Gain confidence for early in career Data Scientist I'm a L60 DS and lack confidence in speaking up and defending my work when cross questioned. I'm scared that I may have missed out on something and my colleagues will find out I'm not good at my job. I work hard and have been doing okay so far. But I lack confidence and conviction in myself because
- Unreal I walked into work at a small startup today at 8. An hour later, during my 1:1, I was laid off. So unreal. Never expected it! I don’t think I am still in shock but my intellect tells me I must be, 1 hour is just too fast to process it. I refuse to let this derail me or let my mind spend any time
- Rant about all the LC grinding So during the Chinese imperial era they had a tiered entrance exam system in order to work as a bureaucrat. It was based mostly on your knowledge of Confucian philosophy and stuff like poetry, and required rote grinding to advance through tiers and maybe make it to the imperial palace one day, take
- All the posts about Amazon getting to Day 2 culture Yes comments - attrition is high - culture still sucks - code quality is very dependent on team - More ops heavy now than before - tenured folks say bar is lowered No comments - Many of the easy problems have already been solved (for other low hanging fruit we aren't staffed right or cost vs. benef
- Companies/teams that are about getting it done There could be a million reasons why it's rare and this website is fantastically abundant in examples. Let's assume we know that it's a dumb move to give a crap whether or not your assigned tasks mean anything, or will accomplish the objectives purportedly laid out; nobody ever wanted to just be a c
- vote 3 companies, 3 offers, 3 different reasons to join I need help deciding which avenue to go down for my next career move. Starting salaries (before negotiations) are all the same around 160k. Holding off on company names for now to not risk exposure for the companies I'm in discussions with. I'm not in the Bay Area and these roles are non-engineering
- Leetcode muscle memory hurting my problem solving abilities I have been a casual competitive programmer during college and always had good problem solving skills. Earlier I didn't use to extensively do algo problems so I was coming up with solutions with raw intellect and math skills (without heavy practice) and that used to warm up my brain and get it flowi
- Following Elon Musk's advice 'Work every waking hour' for past 1 year. For past 1 year have been following his 'work every waking hour' advice. Anyone else out there? Aim: Wanna get kickass experience in products based on ML/AI and then start my own shit. Wanna solve a legit problem or something. Let's see. I have 1000% conviction I will definitely make a dent, now I
- Was Damore that wrong? Let me be clear, I'm a libertarian. Hate trump. Hate illogical arguments. Think women have more shit to deal with then men, and that isn't right. Cool. Unfortunately, Damore said a lot of things, and a significant percentage of them were completely moronic. However, I think he said some significant
- Can an old guy (late 40s) switch careers to be a SWE? People in FAANG and other companies in the tech industry, as the title says - Can an old guy, almost pushing 50, completely switch careers to become a SWE and make the big TC some of you say you make? I already made one career switch that was beneficial. Years ago, I went from the fitness industry
- GME: Before all this fades away into oblivion I’m seeing a lot of posts from people chastising the GME crowd and smugly commenting “what did you expect buying a $5 stock” “”hogs get slaughtered” “you made a shit investment and you’re crying now lmao” You’re nodding along to CNBC and CNN talking heads spewing about ignoring fUNdaMenTaLs and the
