Discuss HN: It’s Easy to Brake the Rules
Virtual interviews have completely changed the way technical interviews can be approached. With just a few simple steps you can have all the answers at your finger tips.
My interview language of choice is JavaScript. So I went to GitHub searched for leetcode filtered by JavaScript and compiled the top 8 repos into one master list of solutions. https://github.com/AlexJuarez/solutions
The next steps are to compile implementations in JavaScript of all the algorithms and data structures that one might need to know. I already had written one https://github.com/AlexJuarez/learn-js/tree/master/data-structures.
The last step is to feed all this information into your programmatic ai app of choice mines, kite.app, and from there magic.
This isn’t about ethic this is about acknowledging there is a better way to write code and solve problems. I’m not advocating for cheating quite the opposite I’m saying leverage all of your advantages. > So I went to GitHub searched for leetcode filtered by JavaScript and compiled the top 8 repos into one master list of solutions. https://github.com/AlexJuarez/solutions > The next steps are [...] > This isn’t about ethic this is about acknowledging there is a better way to write code and solve problems. The next steps should be to properly attribute those 8 repositories you took content from and reconsidering that ethics angle. > and from there magic That sounds like the underwear gnomes' business plan. More directly, any sort of AI which could do what you suggest would likely be more marketable as a "programmer in a box" tool, and sold that way for much higher profit. > This isn’t about ethic ... I’m not advocating for cheating quite the opposite I’m saying leverage all of your advantages. Isn't that also what an advocate of cheating would say, when trying to convince someone that the ethics are not wrong? Isn’t this hacker news? Not ethical dilemma news? This is Hacker News. Hacker has at least three distinct meanings: deeply knowledgeable software developers, shallowly knowledgeable programmers, and people who break into computer security systems. The 'Hacker' in 'Hacker News' refers to the first of this. I suspect you think it means the third. There's no ethical dilemma here, so no, it isn't ethical dilemma news. Nor is it really news. It's a bit more magical version of Danny Dunn and the Homework Machine from 1958 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Dunn_and_the_Homework_Ma... .
