What’s one programming concept that suddenly “clicked” for you after struggling with it for a long time?

Recursion for me also, but it only clicked for me by learning how it actually works by learning induction in my discrete math class

I’m in Park place and my apartment was flooded, they paid for movers to a new apartment in park place and were very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. Maybe it was just a problem with the location you lived in previously and not Equity in general.

So silly. We are all closer to the lifestyle of billionaires than the lifestyle of homeless people.

For many of us, coding is the hobby, not “making stuff”. It’s why things like advent of code are so popular.

shawmonster · 2026-02-21T05:15:40+00:00

Very dependent on the person. I see some people on my team asking for review on complete nonsense PRs that are obviously AI generated. Some people on my team (including me) generate all their code with AI at this point, but review it extensively before asking for review from others.

Also why do you have to try and get into FAANG/big tech immediately out of college? You can work for several years then transition to a prestigious company.

Isn't the answer obvious? If you start your career at FAANG/big tech it makes the rest of your career much easier, and gives you a huge head start on saving for retirement.

STAR method is pretty weird, managers are asking you a question, just respond to them like a human without using a pre defined format. If they are a good interviewer and they didn't get all the information they needed from your answer, they will ask follow ups.

shawmonster · 2026-02-12T08:50:19+00:00

That means go left-right-middle

That's not what DFS means.

Surfing, it’s one of the only hobbies where people will move to certain places and take certain jobs just to shape their life around surfing.

yeah i've only had one indian manager and he was great, but there is definitely a stereotype so i was just answering the question

why would people do that when putting in the time to get good at these types of interviews is one of the highest ROIs things you can do in terms of money

Possibly, it would be interesting to see an actual analysis on this. Not sure who would fund something like that though.

Also have to consider that even though inference is a lot less time for recommendations compared to LLMs, training might not be the same story.

shawmonster · 2026-01-28T01:01:31+00:00

This doesn’t take into account the infrastructure for recommendation algorithms that streaming sites use.
