    Why doesn't Windows drop the purported compatibility with CP/M and get rid of control-z being a special file marker at this point? Lots of legacy code relying on it?

    There should also be a Latex library (?) that makes your documents look like they were photocopied, so you can use the coffee stains and the photocopy to make it look like you spen…

    Because one day you might need to, and you'll write a 100 lines of code to do it. If you had known what a BFS is and how to write it, you'd be able to accomplish the same task in 1…

    What kind of internal integrations, if I may ask? Does it automatically deploy code for you on a successful build or something like that?

    Who cares about the payoff? Startups will still pay you a good enough salary, and if they don't why would you even consider working there? It's not like startups don't pay a salary…

    What's the alternative?

    That's why I said "pay reasonably well". It seems to me that most places that don't interview and filter candidates by asking algorithmic problems don't pay as well as those that d…

    That is true, but in order to get the jobs you described that pay reasonably well you still need to solve algorithmic problems on Leetcode or CTCI. And sometimes knowing different …

    I don't understand what you mean, can you elaborate? Who calls the 1-800 number, and what info do they get from the call?
