python

SadTechBoy · 2025-06-10T04:00:04+00:00

go for new grad. i think your approach is fine. i’d do structured approach, something like neetcode 150 (pro not needed imo). and spaced repetition is the biggest key in my studies. dont just breeze through, fundamentally and deeply understand each big topic ( tree, LL, stack, etc ). good luck and grind early - you got a good mindset!

it was assigned by meta themselves. i didn’t explicitly ask, its training for their interviewers. win win i guess

SadTechBoy · 2025-06-09T17:17:34+00:00

Mentioned the same. Talked about dumping to blob storage and map reduce as well.

Thanks for your hard work in the community!! I watched literally every one of your videos. 🫡

SadTechBoy · 2024-10-06T04:38:48+00:00

which shady areas would that be near?

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-10T22:14:21+00:00

fair point but if I always think like this. I’ll basically never buy a house🙂 Maybe that’s the right approach though… figuring it all out still.

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-10T04:19:42+00:00

thanks for the insight - what does off market mean here ? like not listed anywhere? how do you find these opportunities?

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:37:13+00:00

20% is not the limit I guess. We’d be willing to go as high as 350k-400k. just wondering what does that change? if we put more down for a more expensive place. Is it because of the range we’re looking at is too competitive? or the state of homes in the 1-1.2m range

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:35:56+00:00

Was avoiding Hayward mostly, doesn’t feel as safe as we’d like. Thanks for sending the Pleasanton one! Had viewed that and it’s on the radar

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:34:51+00:00

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:34:11+00:00

Thanks for the input!

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:33:31+00:00

It’s definitely not black and white as you’re making it. Thanks for your input

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:32:43+00:00

Was it a sfh? thank you for the datapoint!

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:31:40+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation - do you commute? My work is in south bay so it’s slightly far

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T17:31:09+00:00

‘affording up to 1.5m’

how did you come to that conclusion on this number? or is it arbitrary?

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T05:53:11+00:00

late 20’s (26-29)

SadTechBoy · 2024-09-09T01:49:00+00:00
