The beginning of the video was really fun and true :) I have really liked the video.

Cool video! Can you bring a +1 for lunches or breakfast? Also a +1 for the gym? So you literally work all day with those late night meetings and leaving work at 6:40pm?! is that normal?

did tiktok ask you leetcode hard? did they grill hard on past experience on behavioral round?

[jamiemathew]

how do you become a software engineer? what is the education needed to become a software engineer? what type of work do you do? is it only just coding, or what other type of work do you do

why waste time charging at the office
would it be more time/money efficient to charge at home, even if via wall plug overnight?

[khoapham]

What’s going to happen now given the recent TikTok ban?
