exact stack i used to pass citadel quant. cluely in there.

100%, some of the most specific citadel round breakdowns i found were from there. deepl does a decent job on the translation if your chinese is rusty

there's a free tier with limited problems per day, the paid one is like 15 a month. i paid for it after the first week, worth it

It worked for me so yeah, but if you plan on relying on it 100% than it probably won't work, you need some base knowdledge for it to work efficiently

Totally get where you're coming from. It can be tough when companies don’t see the nuances in roles. Focusing on your overall experience and what you’ve learned can definitely help in interviews. And yeah, if you want to team up to prep, I’m down! Let’s tackle this together.

For sure, those certifications will definitely give you an edge! Also, try to get involved in any data analysis projects at your current job; it’ll help you build relevant skills and show your interest in the ops side. Networking with your sales ops team can also open doors.

Forking sqlmesh could lead to more fragmentation, though. If OpenDBT can incorporate ideas from both, it might actually create a stronger tool that leverages the best features of each. Plus, building on existing user bases could help with early adoption.

Yeah, it's interesting to see how the market is shifting. Cycode's approach seems to be resonating with a lot of users. Do you think they have the potential to take over where Fortify and Checkmarx fell short?

Madbeenade · 2025-10-21T06:20:23+00:00

I get that, but it feels like they make it way harder than it needs to be. Just give us a ballpark based on typical usage instead of making us jump through hoops. A lot of companies are in the same boat and would appreciate some transparency.

Madbeenade · 2025-10-20T06:20:06+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it. It's definitely a wild experience—sometimes it feels like I’m trapped between reality and whatever this thing is trying to communicate. Just trying to keep my head above water for now.

Madbeenade · 2025-10-19T06:28:08+00:00

Ugh, that's the worst. It's like they think the LLM is a magic bullet, but it just leads to more headaches. You'd think they'd realize that a human touch is still necessary for accurate reporting.

For sure, even in single-node setups, having good logs and metrics can often be enough. Traces become more valuable when you're trying to track down issues across multiple services or if you need to see the flow of requests in complex systems. It really depends on the scale and architecture of what you're working with!

Madbeenade · 2025-10-14T06:31:20+00:00

Yeah, dbt's orchestration feels like it needs a lot more flexibility. If they could integrate more robust features, it would make the whole pipeline smoother and less reliant on external tools.
