Nice -- they market the company as "made by former Google and Apple engineers", but built the product with...an intern?

Lmao.

Checked their LinkedIn and the employees who work there. The founder is non-technical and there are two developers: one who is a "back-end intern" and the other is a front-end developer (both are fresh from bootcamps).

...Yikes.

For context, I'm in university, but during one of my internships, a lot of the older developers always seemed to use awk/sed in really powerful ways. At the same time, I noticed a lot of the younger developers hardly used it.

I'm not sure if it's a generational thing, but I thought that was interesting.

Anyways, are there any good resources to learn awk/sed effectively?

...sure, but I would rather have a Twitter feed with daily programming tips and anecdotes from industry experts, rather than snarky replies to people with differing political opinions. Thanks for the comment though.

Which company?

Not trying to be inflammatory here, but is there a reason why all the co-founders are women?

Interior design wouldn't solve all these problems, but the aesthetic of a kindergarten or hipster daycare certainly exacerbated them.

LOL, that's an amazing description.

Side note: FB also developed a string library to replace std::string (https://github.com/facebook/folly/blob/master/folly/FBString...).

Here's a video from explaining the motivation behind the project (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPR8h4-qZdk).

Do you write C++ by chance? ;)

That's a pretty useless answer. It's easy to use C++, but in a non-idiomatic or C-style way. I think the OP is aware of this problem and is looking for concrete examples of modern C++.

Yeah, still in school (3rd year). I have intern experience, but it seems like these type of positions are way too advanced for me at the moment. Just unsure how to progress...

Unrelated: as a CS undergrad, I read this article and was immediately inspired. This is definitely the type of work I want to be doing when I graduate (infrastructure engineering). But my next thought was: where do I start?!

Any advice?

I certainly agree. However, if OP is simply referring to learning the typical algorithms presented in an undergraduate CS course, then linear algebra isn't a strict prerequisite.

No, I don't believe so (from my experience as a CS undergrad).

Would you recommend CS 343?

I'm disappointed the course teaches μC++ rather than referencing C++11 threading support.

University of Waterloo also recommends Three Easy Pieces as a supplementary text for their OS course.
