Mastering Data Structures & Algorithms is a game-changer.
It's not about interviews or reinventing the wheel.
It's about understanding the universal patterns we use to organize information (data structures) and then process that information (algorithms).
Mathematicians are curious about how the world works, so they devout thousands of hours and their high IQs to toil for their noble goal (often for little pay, results, or recognition).
Meanwhile the rest of us in the real world would be happy to have a cancer cure, our 401k 10x, and our team win the Superbowl.
Whether a human mathematician could explain the results of this outcome is so irrelevant to 99% of folks.
Hilarious Terrence Tao is trying to relate in this way.
absence of evidence ≠ evidence of absence
sample estimate ≠ true effect size
randomisation ≠ random sampling
statistically significant ≠ relevant
multivariate ≠ multivariable
95% CI ≠ 95% probability
p-value ≠ probability H0
correlation ≠ causation
bias ≠ error

The 5 most common aggregate functions used in SQL interviews are:
AVG() - Returns the average value
COUNT() - Returns the number of rows
MAX() - Returns the largest value
MIN() - Returns the smallest value
SUM() - Returns the sum
array_agg() / string_agg() rarely show up.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but the central limit theorem doesn't magically “kick in” at n=30.
