> Knowing algorithms, data structures and their memory and time complexities is very relevant for SWE
Agree with this; however knowing how to roll your own BFS/LRU/etc isn't -- in that case I'd rather review the PR of someone who understands how to leverage tested and known implementations than the PR of someone who decided to roll their own.
Nice interface -- I made something similar but for a specific game (Binding of Isaac) because it has a specific way of implementing shaders for mods. https://sublimnl.github.io/IsaacShaderStudio/
My cat definitely has different sounds for different behaviors -- the most interesting one is when I leave the house and he didn't see me leave, I will get a notification from my nest cam that it thought it heard someone speaking, which will be my cat making a guttural sound that sounds eerily like "hello?" - he will sometimes do this if he can't find me in the house.
A second distinct meow he makes is when he is able to sneak past the baby gate to run down the stairs to the front door -- I call this his "see ya, sucker" meow.
Agreed - as someone who dropped out/lacking a degree, I have no mention of education on my resume and let my long work history present me the way I want to be seen. Early on in my career it held me back a little - at least to the point that I had to explain why I dropped out (and I believe I have a decent justification), but in the last 10 years it hasn't even come up.
I guess it depends on how you look at it. I first started programming 20 years ago as a kid playing around with GW-BASIC and then moving on to Pascal. It was all playing around and teaching myself based on stuff I found on various BBS'. I was intrigued right away and programming just became a passion since I could write my own programs and make the computer do what I wanted it to do. Professionally though, I've been programming for about 15 years - though I feel that I've only really become a good programmer in the last 5 or so years.
