Starting to roll out today: Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets and Claude Data. Think a plan through on a board, build a tracker in a sheet, and tell a story with your data.

instead of grinding leetcode get that dawg in you
I’ve been saying this. Leetcode was hated, and it will die sooner rather than later. What will come after is no standard interview, more subjectivity, and no definite preparation advice Eng hiring will turn into the type of hiring PMs, designers etc know all too well!

when i was 18 i was biking around slovenia reselling old schoolbooks, rented a van and crashed it on day one, and the whole year's profit went into repairs but i was hustling. i wasn't gonna accept the humble future of some kid from slovenia, so i pushed everything i had as far as it could go now i'm in SF building 8x as co-founder and CEO remember no beginning is too small
