I haven't fully watched it yet, but thank you, and btw those interviews you're releasing with friends and colleagues are great and massively underappreciated.
Thank you for this eye-opening interview. Looking back to your previous projects, and seeing that none of them are existing now, makes you reconsider how would approach your next one.
Instead of spending months to prep for algos that you never use at work, so that “maybe” hired by one of these guys, WORK on any pet project you have and you will have much better chance of success. Don’t waste your time!
I want this to be true so badly but I don’t think it is. All my friends who are FAANG engineers had to do serious compsci/algo review and practice to pass their interviews (while ALSO writing code every day at work and possibly on small pet projects like you’re saying). I’ve certainly gotten lots of non-FAANG job offers without knowing a ton of compsci theory or being able to do leetcode problems, but I think FAANG is just a different game with different table stakes. Can you expand on this?
I don’t get what people are raging about here. No one ever said FAANG jobs are the only ones that are worthwhile- Casey and I spend 10 minutes of this video talking about exactly that. And yet in my experience, these skills are absolutely useful once you learn them. Knowing how to solve problems with recursion, or how to recognize a graph problem, or when to use a dynamic programming trick, is just plain useful at a wide variety of jobs. To each their own.
@@tutoriaLinux Interviews should match day to day job. If you want to know their problem solving skills then you should throw the problems you are solving at work to the candidates. Plus it’s absolutely not your business to force people learn something that you don’t use. That’s just an excuse! These days tech interview questions have nothing to do with skills required for the job, questions are just philosophically related at the best.
@@tutoriaLinux If you do things just because other people are doing it then you are acting like a widget. Companies ask questions just because google asks it without critically thinking what THEY need themselves.

Whoa! Did not expect to hear that Casey went to UT Dallas! I graduated with my bachelor's in CS last year from there.
You're great man, i owe you so much for all the Linux you've thought me and everything. Thank you!
Appreciate it -- just keep paying it forward!

Maybe career in billion multinational monopole companies is not all in life, maybe someone just wants to do what pleases them.
