Three Leetcode Hard In 30 Min
Andrej Karpathy announces he's joining Anthropic to work on cutting-edge AI, and Kevin Naughton Jr. immediately asks what LeetCode questions they asked in the interview. Because apparently even when you're literally one of the most influential AI researchers who co-founded Tesla's Autopilot and OpenAI, you still gotta prove you can reverse a binary tree in 15 minutes. The man has probably trained more neural networks than most of us have written for-loops, but sure, let's make sure he can solve "Two Sum" first. Tech interviews remain undefeated in their ability to completely miss the point. Kevin's question is the developer equivalent of asking Einstein if he passed his multiplication tables test.

Next suggestion: NFT pickaxes that cost more than my student loans.

Is-Thirteen: The NPM Package We Deserve
The modern JavaScript ecosystem in its full glory! Someone actually created an entire npm package that does nothing but check if a number equals 13. That's it. That's the whole package. The reaction face says it all - that perfect mix of disappointment and existential dread when you realize people are installing a dependency with its own dependencies just to replace x === 13 . And the best part? This isn't even a joke. There are thousands of these micro-packages clogging up the JavaScript ecosystem. Next week: "left-pad-but-only-on-tuesdays" with 3 million weekly downloads.
