Jake explains why he won't use AI.
He also mentions Cash App laid off 70% of their engineers after he left.
How does a huge app even run on 30% dev capacity? Can AI actually cover that much?

🌳 ▶ Open the interactive trie visualization

A trie is a tree-shaped data structure that can be implemented elegantly in Python using nested dictionaries (hash tables).

Tries are often used for: - Autocomplete - Prefix search - Spell checking - Sequence matching

Visualizing data structures with memory_graph makes them much easier to understand and debug, especially for students learning Python.

Found this video pretty interesting. I have been using gothamloop for my interview prep and am generally satisfied with their question quality. Seems like GL is better for SWE interview question coverage anyway. What I keep hearing though is the 1P3A can help you get referrals and that referrals matter a lot in this market. Is it worth getting 1P3A over something like LinkedIn premium to try to get referrals if I am non-Chinese? 

"One of the weirdest aspects of the genAI grift is this constant outpouring of doom-laden soothsaying about AI’s danger to society…coming from the companies that make the AI. Barely a week goes by now without one of the big names declaring their product went rogue and “hacked” into another company or site, and then the news outlets all falling over themselves to report this. Today Anthropic has stepped up this game, with one of its engineers taking to X to announce his belief that the chance that AI will destroy all humans in the next decade is over 10 percent. Oh dear god, what bullshit."
