As a frontend engineer, I never thought LeetCode would dominate my interviews. After 2022, it did.
Here’s my story + what finally worked for me:

Over the past year I’ve had the opportunity to work on a couple of sites using Webflow and I’m really impressed with the ecosystem and ease of use. It feels like it was designed for designers and engineers alike to build. It reminds me of using Figma.

13/ Overall, we found no evidence of formal reasoning in language models including open-source models like #Llama, #Phi, #Gemma, and #Mistral and leading closed models, including the recent #OpenAI #GPT-4o and #o1-series. Their behavior is better explained by sophisticated pattern matching—so fragile, in fact, that changing names can alter results by ~10%! We can scale data, parameters, and compute—or use better training data for Phi-4, Llama-4, GPT-5. But we believe this will result in 'better pattern-matchers,' not necessarily 'better reasoners.

@sidborderwala I've been thinking about buying this book, but the price seems a little steep. Does the book talk about designing or UX for a login page at all?

Custom GPTs are starting to take off and become incredibly useful.

I believe the GPT Store will create multi-millionaires like the Apple app store did.

Here are the top 10 Custom GPTs I've found so far:

My concern was more the outrageous demand that people *must* take the vaccine and multiple boosters to do anything at all. That was messed up.

Until the Supreme Court invalidated Biden’s exec order, SpaceX and many other companies would have been forced to fire anyone who refused to get vaccinated!

We would not have done so. I would rather go to prison than fire good people who didn’t want to be jabbed.

As for myself, I got original Covid before the vaccine was out (mild cold symptoms) and had to get three vaccines for travel. The third shot almost sent me to hospital.

How many other people out there have symptoms that are actually from the vaccine or Covid treatment, rather than Covid itself?

As for those who didn’t take any vaccine, well @DjokerNole just won a record number of grand slams …

It’s not like I don’t believe in vaccines – I do. However, the cure cannot be potentially worse than the disease. And public debate over efficacy should not be shut down.

There is also great potential for curing many diseases using synthetic mRNA, so let’s not throw the baby out with the bath water.

Someone built a frontend to Reddit that looks like Outlook so you can browse it all day at work without worrying about who is looking over your shoulder.

Luck doesn’t just happen, it’s created. You can do things to increase the odds of serendipity.

Meeting more people makes you lucky. Learning more skills makes you lucky. Being willing to fail makes you lucky. Offering to help others more often makes you lucky.
