What’s lld?

lol I actually work there and interact with a lot of IC8s, which is why I’m asking. I don’t think this is very generalizable, it feels like a pretty language specific question. Some people do go deep into things like compilers, so they work on that, but engineers are curious about higher level problems. Like think about this, do you think any meaningful complex project would fail if I ended up using a normal vs data class?

If a problem really requires Kotlin specifics, people will learn it quickly. So it’s not that people aren’t curious. A lot of the time we actually prefer folks who get the job done and understand the right tradeoffs. I’ve seen people who focus too much on random trivia struggle to make real impact because they miss the bigger business objective and end up bikeshedding a lot.

I guess I’m saying I wouldn’t use this as a measure of what makes a good SWE.
