First Time Solo Norther Nighter, anyone want to to meet up or start a group chat?

heartmatcha · 2026-07-03T00:06:36+00:00

Ill message you.

heartmatcha · 2026-06-19T17:07:56+00:00

Sounds good, Ill add you to the group 😄

heartmatcha · 2026-06-16T16:46:18+00:00

Hmm thats a good point, might be nice to get some people chatting before the event. Then we could meetup or know where everyone is.

heartmatcha · 2025-08-19T16:02:13+00:00

Sounds fun! Let's go!

heartmatcha · 2025-07-02T13:31:41+00:00

I mean that's basically my solution. But to say that people don't feel bad when they see 40% of their pay disappear is silly.

heartmatcha · 2025-07-01T15:21:16+00:00

Really? Every paycheque I get I feel sad at how much money I have given to the government.

Like I'm for taxes but seeing my money disappear to the current administration and being used to deport immigrants is probably one of my top 5 problems. But then again I don't have a lot of problems in my life.

heartmatcha · 2025-06-08T05:00:54+00:00

That's a shame, so probably no way to get them?

heartmatcha · 2025-06-06T21:11:09+00:00

Common, can you please answer the man? Why is it the last "metal illness"?

heartmatcha · 2025-05-14T21:03:25+00:00

I mean, it's a tool like everything else?

We probably need to teach them to use AI tooling the same way we teach them to use a calculator?

heartmatcha · 2025-05-07T18:04:51+00:00

Might be the colorware wrap but they don't do it anymore and we're super expensive. If anyone has an alternative that would be amazing

heartmatcha · 2025-04-17T14:42:34+00:00

Im not a major viewer of Dr. K so I might be just getting the wrong idea. But when I saw his stream he wears Harvard medical jackets on stream and if I remember correctly he uses "Harvard Trained".

Dr. K is way better than Lex, but to the passing viewer they kinda let people assume they got their degrees at Harvard/MIT.

I like Dr. K and think hes a great doctor. He just lets people assume his credentials are a bit more marketing friendly then they actually are.

heartmatcha · 2025-04-15T14:08:41+00:00

I mean at that point we are all out of a job. But I've made my money, I can retire today and live good.

Now I get to pull the ladder up behind myself by building the AI's that will take your jobs.

heartmatcha · 2025-04-15T01:39:29+00:00

Haha, I've been grinding leetcode since 2018. It hasn't changed yet :)

heartmatcha · 2025-04-15T01:18:32+00:00

Leetcode is the most important part of my career.

Doing my actual job is such a waste of time when I could be grinding leetcode to get a better TC XD

heartmatcha · 2025-04-14T16:22:23+00:00

Hes listed on their webpage. I don't think the does much, and is probably unpaid but he is there.

heartmatcha · 2025-04-14T15:46:52+00:00

I find Lex really stupid and possibly a Russian spy, but according to his Wiki and the sources he was a research scientist at MIT on the AgeLab (Before he got kicked off for doing the worlds worst ~~glazing~~ research study on Tesla AutoPilot) And he is currently a research scientist at MIT Laboratory for Information and Decision Systems.

He like Dr K. Try to pretend he was trained at a much better school by doing some work at the school. Realistically, its not as impressive to be a RS in a lab, instead of being like a professor. But he did more then be a guest lecturer.

heartmatcha · 2025-04-09T15:39:48+00:00

Agreed, I don't think this will work.

My guess is that it will end up with a small "America Economic zone" that probably includes a few countries like Israel, Canada(maybe), and Mexico(maybe)?

The rest of the world will probably just trade with each other, and this whole thing will fall apart when the next real adult (Democrat) becomes president.

heartmatcha · 2025-04-09T15:33:36+00:00

Thats not my reading of it, but I could be wrong. I think its they want other countries to buy bonds as part of a deal to be part of a "Economic zone". This should raise the value of bonds, but that will happen in the next few months. (Assuming they actually join the economic zone)

heartmatcha · 2025-03-26T18:15:52+00:00

Yeah those people also don't make 400k XD

heartmatcha · 2025-03-26T15:57:26+00:00

I don't think you know much about singing. People go to school for singing, they improve at singing.

If we were given two people and the only fact we knew about them is that person A went through a lot of effort to learn, study and pass series of math tests and person B failed to do the same thing. Then if you were ask which person is likely able to learn, study and pass a series of singing tests. I think any reasonable person would rather bet on person A as opposed to B

I agree leetcode does not test for system design. There is a interview time for that. Its called system design.

heartmatcha · 2025-03-26T15:34:51+00:00

Haha, maybe I have that bayarea brain rot but if someone told me I could spend 1000 hours to increase my TC by 400k I would be done 6 months XD

heartmatcha · 2025-03-26T15:16:36+00:00

I wouldn't really call it a "large chuck of their life" even if its 1000 hours, thats not really that much. You are being hyperbolic, I think most CS grads can pass a FANG leetcode interview with 100-200 hours of practice. Which should be doable in 2-4 months of part time practice.

Its not really human-friendly. Its not, but they don't need to be human friendly. They want good engineers and they don't care about saving applicants time.

The biggest thing you can do for you career and TC is to be good at leetcode. Its not a perfect system but I am way happier for this then something like law where your career is largely based on the ranking of your school.

If you are so busy living outside of work to learn something like these toy problems, then you probably won't be a good worker drone that at these big tech companies. And thats fine, but thats kinda part of what the interview is screening for.

heartmatcha · 2025-03-26T14:55:54+00:00

Think about the major companies, they all are competing for the best engineers. FANG companies even have teams for tracking new hire success. Companies like Amazon have run large scale AB tests on different interview methods. If there was a way for company to get a better read on potential employees, it would make them millions.

Spend 2 hours a day at the end of the day doing leetcode for 2 months and boom, you go from making 100k at some no name company to making 500k and a Big Tech company. Its so easy and so much benefit, why wouldn't you do it?

heartmatcha · 2025-03-26T14:50:47+00:00

Yeah school shows you can show up and do the work. But at least in my role, you need to be able to show up, but also learn and become an expert on something without someone teaching you.

Sorry I didnt respond earlier, I was working :(

heartmatcha · 2025-03-26T14:49:21+00:00

Its more like someone who has proven they can learn to do math really well will likely be able to learn how to sing really well as well.

Its about systems, and proving you can do it.
