YO this is my favorite thing on tech x this week:
1) kid makes leet code cheating tool for big tech interviews
2) uses it on Amazon interview, gets offer
3) YOUTUBES THE WHOLE THING, tells Amazon to f*** off
4) Amazon gets mad and emails Columbia, gives him disciplinary letter
5) TWEETS THE LETTER
@im_roy_lee do you want an internship brother because this is AMAZING
Roy@im_roy_lee

We tried something new: creating music live, in the moment, with our audience—and it was pure magic. This Friday, we’re bringing the vibe back to @baoboxcafe! 🎶 Here’s a glimpse of what went down last time.

Lose what, sir? There's no specific demand they have that's exclusively for Gen Zs. The idea that there needs to be a bargain, a compromise is not their want. They are just asking that institutions must work, wastage must stop, corruption must stop, and meritocracy must prevail
They're not asking for a seat at the table, they're saying that there are too many unnecessary seats at the table.

Story of startup hiring 😭
Founder— Hi, we’re hiring
Me- Hi, are you open for a part time role.
Founder- Hi, yes yes, let’s connect.
Me- Ok, scheduled a call, discussion done!
Founder— Do you have more writing proof.
Me- I shared everything whatever is public.
Founder- We’re scared can you write a detailed technical post and that too within 4hours!
Me— Hi, yes but it must be a paid task. I’ll charge X amount.
Founder—yes let’s do it.
Me— adjust my current schedule/worked extra hours and submit the post for feedback.
Founder— I’ve feedback, can you implement.
Me— yes, fixed, done.
Founder— silence
Me— Hi, any updates.
Founder— we’re interviewing multiple people, give me this week.
Me— alright, sent Stripe link, it would be nice if you can clear the payment.
Founder— Hi, we specifically mentioned it’s a paid task but only if we decide to publish.
Me— hmmm 🤔
Me— waiting
Me— sent a follow up
Founder— we are deliberating on your profile, when we can discuss!
Me— excited 😆 ok, let’s connect tomorrow, again call scheduled
Founder— Hi, we’ve found someone who is ready to join full time! Are you still want to talk. (Before an hour to a scheduled call)
Me— sounds good, good luck but it would be nice if you can clear the payment.
Founder— Hi, we’re not posting the blog on our website.
End of the story-/
Guess the Founder origin country 😉 that’s why most engineers don’t want to work with poor founders who don’t have any integrity!
Lesson— Never do paid task without upfront payments! Some people just Ghost you!

@bonifacemwangi @SakajaJohnson I feel like kids should go to school in the area code they live. I usually feel sooo bad seeing kids standing waiting and worse you can't offer them lift cause you don't know wat you will be accused of
