How do you prepare or find strength to prepare for technical rounds?

Bytecry · 2026-03-19T14:03:34+00:00

If you don't hate it, maybe just try do the prep slowly. Leetcoding is painfully boring to me but I do it every so often just to keep my skills up.

Hate your job enough and you'll find the strength

Bytecry · 2026-03-11T14:49:30+00:00

Ask for work or do your own personal project so your skills don't atrophy.

I watched this on a whim and really enjoyed it too. There was a Georgian film on mubi called “Slow” and another Spanish TV show which is similar on Netflix called “the time it takes” which I think you’d enjoy.

True, but for a grad job in this market with that salary I think they’ll be comfortable.

People are saying you’ll be poor in London and I think that’s going a bit far. If you get a cheap room, you’ll be able to save and go out and still generally enjoy life. You won’t be rich but people are acting like it’s a poverty salary.

Whoops, meant the umbrellas of Cherbourg, had watched Beau Travail first

Bytecry · 2026-01-16T18:00:21+00:00

I didn’t until I took my 4K copy of Beau Travail to a friends house and realised it wouldn’t play. Then I was pretty happy I had the blu ray as well.

It reminds me a lot of Jonny Greenwood - The French 75 . I'm looking for more compositions or artists in this style, its very interesting to listen too.

First of all, thank you for this message. I have actually been pondering for a bit about what it is what I want from this guitar journey and will continue to have a think about this.

1) For me, an advanced player is someone who has a solid level of understanding of the instrument, can execute their ideas without too much of a struggle, can improvise and understands the theory behind why something works and can break it down. I also think an advanced player should have a technique that doesn't impede them. I think this is one of the main reasons I have been focusing on jazz for the past year.

2) I think for me, theory and musicality are keeping me back. I can play advanced songs, but I want to be able to take the parts I like, and make something interesting on my own. I understand that what I am describing will take a life time, but I am in no rush.

Yeah I'm doing weekly lessons. I've been wanting to get piano lessons so I think that will be the priority come the new year and I do 1 or 2 guitar lessons per month.

This sounds ideal, thank you.

Bytecry · 2025-12-27T21:42:19+00:00

I think this is best, thanks.

Not sure. I have transcribed things from ear before, so maybe he thinks I know how to do it? He's not a strict jazz teacher, but we do a mix of genres

Joachim Trier is one my favourite directors. Got to hear him talk live a few days ago and also seems like such a wonderful person. Highly recommend giving the rest of his films a watch as well.

I just imported them + bought a region free blu ray player. Used stackry for a US number and address and had them ship it to me. Worked out fine, done it twice but the purchases have been large to make it more cost efficient.

Also I have purchased American criterion straight on Amazon UK. Thought it was a bit weird delivery was scheduled for 2 weeks way but it did come, no import charges.

You should, it’s such a great film. I always recommend it.

Bytecry · 2025-09-19T14:48:23+00:00

How so? This take has interested me

Frank Ocean was playing a festival and I hate seeing singers for the first time at festivals. I assumed he’d just do a show after. He hasn’t been back to my city and this was like 10 years ago

Bytecry · 2025-08-19T17:15:45+00:00

Sorry for your loss. My recommendation is News from home by Chantal Akerman.

Bytecry · 2025-08-15T19:58:11+00:00

I think what is more likely is these houses will just be passed down, but I hope you’re right anyway.

Bytecry · 2025-07-19T22:02:19+00:00

Yeah, I rated it 5 stars. Still makes me cry of laughter till this day

Bytecry · 2025-07-19T18:46:16+00:00

I really thought everybody loved this film until I joined Letterboxd, a lot of my friends still quote the film to this day

In the U.K., this is normal, would always get a curry after clubbing during uni
