It has a lot of pointless content and it seems like there are always better sources than it. Maybe their user base grows but the quality of answers drops.

Coursera S-1 IPO 5 years ago

I have the same feeling about the UI. The last time I tried watching a course was easier to find the videos on youtube(the author had uploaded them there as well).

I always check the topics on Bellard here on HN, really insightful.

Let's don't forget the obligatory: "Can he invert a binary tree on a whiteboard though?"

Can you give some examples of the bigger part of the tech industry without supporting legacy systems, government IT and academia? I feel companies are having very similar business models because all get from the same pool of money.

It's great if you know them, but you can put "Every programmer should know" on everything you use daily and post it. It looks like the clickbait articles "N books every programmer should read" and see the thick books on algorithms.

I have the same feeling. In most cases you do the job without any external libs which is rarely the case with other programming languages.

Asking in advance about the type of interviews helps. Better avoid wasting a whole day when you are not prepared. At least to reduce the stress of whiteboarding. Algorithms are fun, but most of the people don't implement BFS after the college.

Visual tools seems to be harder to manage and add a lot of overhead.

Have you heard of Informatica PowerCenter? It creates a mapping instead of writing down SQL query. The problem is you must manage inconsistent interfaces, resize windows, writing down in small textboxes.

Of course it has its benefits, but in most cases it just doesn't help much in removing complexity but it adds its own.

I will repeat what others said but here we go. On my work pc, on windows, VSCodium works much better when it comes to graphics.
