Startup Next Door

During my funemployment, I’ve been knocking out my entire to-do list and it feels fantastic.

In October, after eight and a half years at Amazon, I decided to leave.

Important Update: In December 2024, Amazon made drastic changes to the management of Zappos.

This week I joined Zappos!

After starting this repo four years ago, I’m pleased to announce that the Coding Interview University project is in the top 10 on Github!

I wanted to share my progress on Assignment 1 (string processing library) of the Low-Level Programming book.

While I was studying computer science, I spent only a short amount of time on assembly programming, but I found it fascinating.

Even before I started work at Amazon, I got started getting up to speed on the main language I would use for the job.

Hey all, If you’ve been waiting to see more content here, I appreciate your patience.

Important Update: In December 2024, I left Amazon.

Yup.

If you’ve been following my adventures, you’ll know I’ve been doing startups for years, and this last year has been no different.

To all recruiters, welcome.

I’ve become frustrated at the time it takes me to solve some coding problems while practicing for the coding interview.

I’m a fan of tries.

I thought I was done reading books for the learning phase of my study process, and was itching to get back to the coding problems phase.

I’ve been asked numerous times, “How do you remember all the stuff you’ve been studying?”

Large whiteboards are expensive.

For doing daily programming problems, I started using this Algorithm Design Canvas created by HiredInTech.

Well, it’s taken many months to get to this point, because I had a lot to learn.
