  • Re thumb-key do you have recommended tutorials for getting comfortable with it? I found trying to do touch typing tutorials didn’t really help, both because they are generally made for desktop environments and they are geared towards qwerty layout (e.g., get comfortable with home row first etc). I tried forcing myself to use it for a full 24 hours as the concept makes a ton of sense to me, but got very frustrated with myself and then dug into the world of which layout to choose, got overwhelmed, and switched back to whatever this qwerty layout that samsung one ui provides on galaxys.


  • It varies on who does the interview but I push for much simpler than leetcode type stuff- e.g. not puzzle problems but more “design a program that can represent a parking structure and provide a function that could be used for the ticket printer to determine where a new car should park, as well as one that can run upon exit to determine payment”

    Then if they are actually solid we can dive into complexity and optimization and if they can’t write a class or a function at all (and esp if they can’t model a problem in this way) it’s really obvious.
