Hi all, I've been one of the top five most active members in here for 4 years (!) ask me anything about anything and get official answers! I'll keep this open all evening and respond to lingering questions when I can. Just because you can ask me anything, it doesn't mean I'll have good answers.... the areas I'm particularly knowledgeable about: 1. Getting a job at a FAANG company 2. AI's impact on day to day engineering 3. Reddit bad actors / content manipulation / social engineering attacks 4. Coding bootcamp history and industry news and trends I give blunt and direct advice and opinions. I use my real name on Reddit. My comments are my opinions unless explicitly labelled as a fact and I aim to source factual statements.
