... seriously? Its an ARRAY and we ask you to flip the order of the content. If you cant do that you might be working in tech but youâ(TM)re not a software engineer. You learn that shit in your first CS class. Weâ(TM)re not even asking an optimized way to do it, we just want to see if you can do it at all. Working with arrays is a pretty darn common job in CS.

Sure but we agree that this example shows that a technical skill beyond programming and having a working product are required. Sure to me its like someone said before, its low level obvious shit but the last 20 years have shown me that clearly it isnt obvious to many people. I mean how hard is it to crunch the numbers and say : shit its going to cost 6k this month maybe we should get that approved.

My first aws experience, the whole AWS stuff was handled by the web front end guys before I joined the team. The bill for the first month was 6000$ for a web server that was essentially used to proxy http query to the real back end server. When I asked why they needed so much capacity they said it was because it wouldnt work with less when serving the web page assets ( we did have over one million Daily active users on all platforms ). I was like uuh CDN? They said whatâ(TM)s a CDN? Next month bill was a few hundred $. Thats why you need someone who understand shit beside just making it work.

Iâ(TM)m going to guess the plan is to use their starship to do it. In the latest presentation Elon said that if ALL the rocket companies on Earth, including spacex, launched at their maximum rate they could put 300 tons in orbit a year. Four starship launching and relaunching could put up ONE MILLION ton a year. Even if we account for his crazy optimism and say its 1/8th of the planned amount, its a crazy quantity. Read up on starship, the pace of progress on this platform and the amount of cargo space is mind boggling.
