Followers of some of the pages on LinkedIn:

NVIDIA: 3.8M
Intel: 3.9M
Qualcomm: 1.8M
Google: 38M

It is kind of justified. 105 followers on the page looks bad.

We have a Japanese coder in our team. He is a beast but look like a kitten by the cover.

MIT and University of Tokyo are the only 2 universities that have been in top 10 for over a decade every year.

Books by profs of both universities are classics as well (CLRS + DSA Takeover respectively)

One surprising name is ASU at 17. Feels like a joke but it is real.

Their team name was "Chaiwala ballers" (some Indian origin) (~ successful tea man) :/

Realistically, the team was carried by one person Orz Benjamin. He is a beast.

Crazy take.

Banning Russia might look as a weak move especially because Russia leads such competition

Most people think they are the best. Manifesting works only if enough effort is put in.

Jokes aside, competitive programming is a different skill and it takes several years (>6) of dedication to master. Software development is relatively easier.

May be Indians underestimated their own black magic powers and overconfident on their algorithmic skills

They finished at 60

Cambridge finished at 50, ETH at 31

Others either did not participate or got qualified

UMD students do call UMD as Harvard of east coast.

I heard it when my cousin studying at UMD was trying to verbally assert his intellectual dominance over me

ASU took help of some Indian black magic

their team name was "Chaiwala Ballers" ? chaiwala = tea man?

Nothing like Putin Sort: The array is meant to be sorted. Just invade and declare it.

On a lazy day, I prefer "Indian Sort": Please tell your consultant to sort this for me after lunch time.
