#42Not familiar with his crypto hustle, but I watched some Martin Kleppman talks on YouTube, and Tech Lead commercials started devouring my YouTube. The algorithm mistook me for not knowing how to code? Not sure. Apparently this tech lead guy created programming videos to teach you how to get hired at big tech companies. It turned out the partner guy in the videos wasn’t even a developer but had maybe interned somewhere…
Sounds like you need to build some passive income streams and generate wealth. Please buy the online course I'm hucking on YouTube because I'm such an expert in these topics.
Seriously though, it pains me to see the young and naive fall for these scams. Also, wasn't there a data science YouTuber recently that was busted for more or less plagiarizing their content?

These are not incredibly hard traits to identify upon talking with people. The problem is when you willingly dance with the devil because of how much value he delivers.
I get the angle you’re coming from, but the Google interview is more mechanical and rubric driven It tries to avoid making biased or personal assessments about people in order to be inclusive. Obviously major red flags or cheating will be noted, but you don’t want to assume someone is an a*hole just because they are matter-of-fact ( IMO, there’s a thin line between the two ) and you have different communication style…
If you cling to a mechanical interview process then you're more or less intentionally selecting for those craven enough to game mechanics.

I completely disagree I think that those people are extremely hard to identify, because they are able and willing to game the interview process. I also don't think that people like that deliver positive value to the company.

Additionally, it attracts those who are pedigree driven and proud about their school ranking.
It seems the solution is to have a real world pair programming or collaboration where there is areas to disagree, debate, compromise on. Algorithmic Interviews that have a clear right/wrong answer leaves little room for personal opinion

#47How is this different than all the other alt coins? Aren’t all the crypto founders making money from their ‘inventions’?

Tai Lopez!
“Here in my garage, just bought this new Lamborghini here. It’s fun to drive up here in the Hollywood hills. But you know what I like more than materialistic things? Knowledge. In fact, I’m a lot more proud of these seven new bookshelves that I had to get installed to hold two thousand new books that I bought. It’s like the billionaire Warren Buffett says, “the more you learn, the more you earn.””

I would argue that the reason you get "this is serious" vibes is because he's actually more serious than satire. I really don't think he's playing a character. His videos have been like this for years, it's only in the last year or so that he's ramped up the "satire" content to a ridiculous level.
I genuinely struggled to understand if it was satire before. But given how often the words he’s chosen are deliberately sarcastic - or other situations where he would have the opportunity to save fact to make himself look better, but leans in to the character (for comedic effect I don’t doubt) makes me believe it must be satire. Like the numerous “this one tip” videos where he goes on and on about the tip and then it…
Being sarcastic does not make it satire by it self though. It might just as well be arrogance.

#50Anyone who's always speaking "as a millionaire" isn't someone I'd listen to.
His channel is satire. The problem I have with it is the extreme deadpan delivery, the arrogance and closeness to reality. Obviously he’s playing a character; but I wish I didn’t get so much of a “this is serious” vibe.
I thought his channel was satire at first too, but to a great degree, I don't think he's joking. Now I think he disguises his douchebaggery through deadpan humor.
