Well... what did they expect? Seriously! There is no shortage of experimental evidence of what happens when a bot is trained by "the Internet".


Case in point: the left-pad package has quadratic complexity.


Depends on the JS implementation in question. And I think node uses one that optimizes string concatenation, possibly making that the fastest way to do it.


Yeah, as far as I know in modern JS engines += is actually faster than using an array.

It's really nice how we once again depend on "I think some guys do it like this" for performance. What happened to standards?

What's next? SEO for code?


Wut... Because the iPhone 5S had great design?

Contrary to the popular meme, not all people buy Apple because they're shallow appearance-obsessed hipsters.


I'd even call this a statement of confidence in the longevity of Apple's own industrial design. There's a clear implication that Apple's design doesn't date easily.


Looks good, but horrible in the hand. Cargo culting Braun basically. They need to revive the iPhone 3 form factor.


The OP's point is that "This only works if you pay the appropriate amount". If you go with that process, but discard the "money" variable, you'll only interview the people who got rejected from every one of the well-paying companies.


I read the article why do you feel the need to summarize a part of it? Geez.


Hell, at this point I'd be happy with "command-line python". I've seen a few-too-many "Rails, but only in RubyMine" devs.


Guy, you're wrong. You can keep arguing, but that won't change reality.


The only way for them to get developers on their platform is to wait for the next generation of developers. Literally nobody will base anything on their stuff now, and this has been the case for a good few years.


Either "Games aren't real software", "If it's not in the US, we mostly don't care" or "Real Unicorns take VC and get acquired by Facebook, Microsoft acquisitions don't count".

Pick your poison.


Garena is on the list, and they are in the gaming industry.


That's really weird... It kind of tells me that they don't have confidence in the platform. Dogfooding is important, kids!


Because the Messiah complex is finally dying?
