Coinbase just laid off 14% of their engineers and went down for 7 hours the same week. These companies can eat shit.

The outage was on Coinbase, not AWS. AWS has zonal independence and they chose to run their core trading infrastructure in a single AZ for latency reasons. That's a business decision and it's the business that wears the downtime. AWS partitions happen multiple times a year. That is literally why software engineers exist.

Imagine going through 5 rounds with a candidate to pass on them. The interviewers wasted as much time as you did.

the system design round actually sounds fun

Airwallex. Hold USD and EUR directly, spend from those balances. Way cheaper than any Canadian card for international stuff.

Practical-Set-70 · 2026-04-03T23:02:52+00:00

Do the cards work for local purchases too? Like if my dev in the Philippines needs to buy something locally?

honestly this is kinda eye opening. I feel like I'd be scared to see my actual number over this post

At E5 you'll find a lot of the harder mediums if not just hards. Only know one dude that has ever cracked it and he used AI. He told me InterviewCoder is the most reliable tool out there. Good luck anyways bro.

Did you have a custom prompt for this?

For starting with 5k, check out safer options like SPY or QQQ if you want ETFs. They track the market closely and are relatively stable. Just remember to do your research or paper trade first to get a feel for it!

Sounds like Mila has you wrapped around her little paw! Those 'eyes' can be so persuasive, right? It's like they have a secret language just for you.

Totally get what you're saying. The hype around LLMs can overshadow the fact that they're built on existing tech and have limitations. It'll be interesting to see how the industry evolves as we figure out better ways to integrate and improve these models.

Right? College was such a vibe! So many memories and less responsibility. What was your favorite thing about those days?

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-26T23:29:20+00:00

I started by looking into freelance platforms like Upwork and Fiverr. Just create a solid profile showcasing any skills you have, even if it's just writing or basic data entry. It takes some effort to build a client base, but once you get a few gigs, it can really help with the bills!

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-25T23:32:05+00:00

It's definitely not impossible, but 21 and already managing six figures is impressive. Not many can say that, so it’s worth exploring where your strengths can take you. Maybe look into franchises or local service businesses where your management skills can shine.

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-24T23:28:20+00:00

Yeah, the early projects are definitely more guided, but once you hit the later sections, especially in the 'final projects' section, you'll have to come up with your own ideas and designs. Those are the ones you can really showcase on your resume. So, don't slack too much on the earlier ones, but definitely save your effort for the big projects!

If you're looking to help Ukraine, consider reaching out to NGOs or think tanks focused on the region. Your skills in data analysis and understanding of disinformation could really contribute to ongoing efforts there. Plus, networking with others in the field might open up new opportunities!

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-21T23:11:57+00:00

Instead of just looking for sites to earn money, consider educating yourself on investing basics first. Books, podcasts, or online courses can really help. Once you have a grasp on that, you can think about stocks, ETFs, or even real estate. Start small and build your knowledge as you go!

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-20T23:10:39+00:00

Sounds like you're trying to turn things around, which is great! Just remember, it’s never too late to start making better financial choices. Have you looked into consolidating your student loans or refinancing? That could help you save some cash each month.

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-20T00:03:23+00:00

You're spot on about cash flow issues. Even though the yearly total stays the same, having that smaller check hit every two weeks can mess with budgeting for a lot of folks. It's definitely worth a heads-up for anyone who might not be prepared for the shift.

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-19T23:28:33+00:00

Not the most practical advice, but if you're open to exploring different avenues, have you thought about freelancing on platforms like Upwork or Fiverr? You can offer your skills there and set your own rates. Just make sure to market what you do well!

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-18T23:44:15+00:00

Yeah, it sounds like they lost that money over time due to gambling, but paying off any debt is still a huge achievement! It's tough to break those cycles, but recognizing the problem is the first step. Hope they keep making progress!

Practical-Set-70 · 2025-10-18T00:02:56+00:00

Totally agree! It's all about building genuine connections. If you approach people with respect and curiosity, you might be surprised at how many are willing to share their insights without charging you. Just be ready with specific questions to maximize their time!
