    I would guess that most folks would consider a bunch of problem prompts with no reference solutions to be not so useful. How would you check your understanding? How would you know …

    This is a satisfying narrative but I feel like you are overestimating the technical competency and/or malice of these companies. The more likely explanation is that they have simpl…

    Sorry, I meant I want to be able to do it faster. I don't want to be held up by an automatic progression.
