I hate toy puzzles that are gatekeeping good tech interviews. When does a senior engineer need to use “shuffle items in a sorted array, in-place, without using more than two items space, while being judged by an interviewer” in their daily job?
TBF as easy as it is, why such interview questions?

In case you missed it: Bluesky runs on-prem. They migrated off of AWS months back.
So yeah, they DO need to put orders in for servers! (Good luck to the dev team!)

Finding it really hard to justify building my first personal #NAS. I’ve got the tech covered. The data I’ve got is tiny.. personal photos, Music, some videos, Documents, ebooks and code repos. What content do you store in your NAS?

My workbench - for tiny wood shed, made with my son, holds table saw snugly, absurdly heavy, has wide lips on the edges for clamping. No T-tracks, Dog holes or any fancy features (got no time for that). Oregon pine + Exterior grade Plywood table top.
