    I’m beginning to understand that the trick to getting away with using AI… is simply proofreading.

    I don’t condone it whatsoever

    I don’t condone proofreading either. Proofreading is basically work and should be outsourced to another AI, saving you the trouble.



  • I can’t imagine that’s any fun to deal with.

    “You should have known what the intent of the question was. Management won’t know or care about the internals of your code as long as it meets requirements. You have failed this test.”

    Or

    “You should know that you’re calling a function with invalid parameters. Where did you get your CS degree from again?”





  • Why should the interviewee assume that?

    This could very well be a test to see if the applicant has an idea of how a project scales or how they need to interact with other departments or track down compliance information. It could also test the applicant’s ability to provide a sanity check to a boss’s idea before they pitch something that the team can’t actually do








  • This seems simple for one stream, but scale that up to how many unique streams that Youtube is servicing at any given second. 10k?

    Google doesn’t own all of the hardware involved in this video serving process. They push videos to their local CDNs, which then push the videos to the end users. If we’re configuring streams on the fly with advertisements, we need to push the ads to the CDNs pushing out the content. They may already be collocated, but they may not. We need to factor in additional processing which costs time and money.

    I can see this becoming an extremely ugly problem when you’re working with a decentralized service model like Youtube. Nothing is ever easy since they don’t own everything.
