The Almanack of Paul Graham

15 comments

Hi Ripsters,

I’m a huge fan of Paul Graham.

Paul is the co-founder of Y Combinator and one of the greatest essayist of modern era.

I’ve read I guess 70% of his essays, several of them multiple times (I reached double digits re-readings count on The age of the Essay) and I’ve already shared some of his essays in my Learning Journals with you in the past months.

A good chunk of my life philosophy has been influenced by Paul’s writing. I wish I had his writings available when I was younger. Luckily you, 20-years-younger-than-me reader, have access today to his entire body of work.

Few months ago this crazy idea popped up in my mind: I wanted to write The Almanack of Paul Graham.

How to get a chance of being interviewed at Google

2 comments

Hi Ripsters,

This is the second (and last) extract from Mock Software Interview F.A.Q. that addresses how to maximize your chances of having your application being considered by large tech companies.

If you don’t care about applying for a FAANG, or how to pass a Google interview you can skip this.

Sorry for the spam. I’m done with it, promised 🙂

Enjoy!

What did I learn from almost 100 Tech Interviews at Google?

11 comments

Hi Ripsters,

I recently launched a Mock Software Interview service, meant for people who are ready to apply for a Software Engineer position in large tech companies.

I’ve added a FAQ section in the service page but I realized that two of them might be worthy a post on their own, since I kept being asked those questions frequently.

I’ve extracted in this post the answer to the Most Frequently Asked Question (MFAQ?), so that I can point to it directly when asked via email.

If you don’t care about applying for a FAANG, or how to pass a Google interview you can skip. Sorry for the spam. I will probably extract another large piece of that FAQ into its own post later this week.

Enjoy!
