    Nobody notices that all the messages are labeled "5:42 pm"? From the proposition of the idea to the the review of the PR. This of course is impossible. I mean, even AI bots can und…

    Assume you build a machine that can simulate some system 1:1. Then it means the machine is exactly the same as the system, and the cost of running it will no less than the system i…

    A leet-code style automated assignment is like a test. We all did tests in school so I guess most people do not feel there is anything wrong about that. However, an interview, whic…

    But the dashboard is not important at all, because everyone can have the same dashboard the same way you have it. It's like you are generating a static website using Hugo and apply…
