Do you look at code quality at all for entry-level data analyst positions where you are asking for Python/R? Or do you just assume it's going to be bad?

Hahaha great question. I always assume it’s going to be some of the worst code I’ve ever seen (and I’m always right about this). I try to instead focus on fundamentals. Like, “if you were given two lists of integers, how would go about comparing the lists?” Very open-ended so I can see how they interpret the question (are they going to port the lists into a data frame, are they going to generate summary stats, etc.)

Ok, cool. I've been giving advice to check out hackerrank/leetcode and that's the kind of question they have. Honestly that seems way easier than fixing their code.

It isn't really wrong until you've seen someone right justify their code.

Poll on general attitudes towards open relationships? I’m in one and find that some folks are totally non-judgmental about it, while others are so vicious/rude about it. Curious about your opinions! I understand that every open relationship is different, and each couple defines their own arrangement/rules. For context, ours is a passive one that’s hardly acted on, but we both have Grindr and meet guys for fun on the very odd occasion (whether together or apart). If you’re in one, describe yours!

I’ve been dating a guy who’s in the process of separating from his husband. I’ve found it emotionally difficult that he is not available as much as would be expected - he has to sleep at home most nights, we can’t really have a social life together yet, our weekend time together is weaved in around his family obligations (they have a child), etc. How do I tell whether I’m being unreasonable or whether I’m in an unhealthy situation?

How would you react if your significant other told you that you weren’t their ideal type and that they wished you had a biracial skin tone with less kinky hair but that they are trying to get over it because they still deeply love you/you’re attractive in your own way?

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?

Coming to the realization that consulting is not for me (tech person) feeling angry that salaries at D will never be on pair with FANG and that leadership is not tech focused. For example you could be a soul contributor at fang making 240k and people at Deloitte wait 10+ years to earn that as Senior Managers because they need to climb the corporate ladder. It seems super clear cut to me now, if you want to make money in tech don’t join consulting firms. Am I wrong?
