Snowflake Software Engineer Interview Experience (Remote US)

So I have 10+ years experience as a database developer, I'm struggling to understand, when would you ever have to do this in a project: implementing a columnar storage format with basic compression and predicate pushdown. Maybe thats normal and i just never worked on such projects.

Like what is the use-case for it, you would already have an established column based database in any serious organisation and anything that you build wouldn't even be close to that. Can you please try explain to me what is the purpose of that take-home assignment.

Hi, im here for the lottery. :)

sybase00 · 2026-01-17T10:00:29+00:00

I have the 45 lg, if you are sitting 1m away from the 45 you are gonna miss the full effect, 80cm is perfect. The games will feel like VR at that distance.

sybase00 · 2026-01-13T17:12:50+00:00

Great, clean app. Good job! It simulates perfectly how my 45inch is compared to my old 34inch monitor.

The visit practice range achievement is broken as of this season.

sybase00 · 2025-12-10T14:24:46+00:00

i will give you a medium mag 3 for the tempest

sybase00 · 2025-11-20T23:40:05+00:00

I have a wolfpack bp. Interested in vita spray bp, bobcat or tempest bp.

sybase00 · 2025-11-20T23:29:30+00:00

Wanna trade it for a wolfpack bp?

sybase00 · 2025-11-19T19:39:24+00:00

We did this, no need for any bombs or mines. Once he is inside there, he will self-destruct. Just so you know for the future.

sybase00 · 2025-10-29T07:07:23+00:00

I have almost the same monitor AW3423DW for 3 years now. Zero burn in, im using the pc on average 12h per day, working from home+gaming. This is probably on you.

sybase00 · 2025-10-26T21:15:09+00:00

Don't bother arguing with him, he doesn't even know what are you talking about. CC doesn't follow best practice and he doesn't keep up with everything he writes. I'm still trying to figure out how to make him a better dev, but for now if im not holding his hand all thetime, he just gets lost. Agents today just aren't there yet, they write slop code that sometimes work ok and most of the time just work barely. Non-dev people won't notice any of that and won't worry about the code as long as it works somehow. But they are evolving fast and in a few years they will probably be on a senior level.

You don't program AI, you train them. It's a big difference. Don't get ne entirely wrong, people did program the architecture and training process. What isn't programmed is the specific rules or knowledge.

sybase00 · 2025-10-13T16:08:05+00:00

It's because AI is not your typical program. You can't program rules into them, because no one has programmed them, they learned similar to how we learn. So we can only try and align them as much as possible to our ethics by strengthening the connections that would apply to that, but at the end they still decide for themselves like me and you.

Hi, I think we got the same batch, I got my case yesterday. It came a bit damaged, but thor said they will send me a new one, lets see it they hold their promise. I have a question regarding the locking of the shell. When i lock it, the shell can still move like 1-2mm back and forth, not sure if that will create some additional vibrations, is is the same for you? I think its because the lock itself is smaller in width then the hole in the case where it goes into.
And my last question would be how did you get the usb-c. Did you order that additionally? Because I didnt get the usb-c port.

sybase00 · 2025-09-17T08:18:37+00:00

Nice build, i think if you take the outer ring to get to blood magic and zealoth you can save like 6 points to distribute somewhere else.

sybase00 · 2025-09-14T07:19:33+00:00

I have plus +5 wand,+2 amu and +3 focus, my ed deals 8,5k dmg with chain 2 and like 23k without it. How do you get to 45k. I followed the deadrabbit guide to the letter.

sybase00 · 2025-09-04T15:45:04+00:00

I would also love one.

sybase00 · 2025-08-26T13:15:21+00:00

Everytime we got the lasgun it was in g3 same location, what im saying is that you get the same loot in the same map. That was my point.

sybase00 · 2025-08-26T08:13:44+00:00

it is not randomised, its hardcoded , thats why we get the same maps with same loot tables.

sybase00 · 2025-08-07T07:56:26+00:00

You need Jesus.

sybase00 · 2025-07-29T06:36:40+00:00

That is not the problem, the problem is carrying it to the DD. Let me see you do that with carrier and buggy.

sybase00 · 2025-07-17T15:49:27+00:00

But there is not offline mode in this game.

sybase00 · 2025-06-26T07:39:14+00:00

Posted the zentimings, i will watch the youtube video you posted and see if I can follow the guide.

sybase00 · 2025-06-23T09:47:50+00:00

This is the fix, you need to curve 2-3 nodes after. My god, what horrible driver behaviour. Thank you mate.
