Looks like they only test in `prod`. Probably they used grok to generate the tests code ;)

I have 2 kids 14 and 12. My 14 year old has started solving medium level leetcode problems (which I am happy about).

Talk to them often about code, technology etc.One thing that helped IMHO spending a lot of time in solving math problems (AOPS) , which made think through hard problems and had to grind through solutions which took time. My kids love Big Bang Theory and anything that is geeky. I talk to them about the latest things that are happening in tech like the recent hack and the malware.

I recently read this book https://www.amazon.com/But-How-Know-Principles-Computers-ebo... and sat and drew with my kids and,or , xor and nand gates.Building Mindcraft MOD can be another fun project.

Be patient and it helps a lot IMO.

Good luck :)

snaveen | 6 years ago | on: Reading a book a week for your career

I read 1 to 1.5 books a week. I have been reading for sometime now.My problem is that my friends don’t read much.

Everyone wants to read but don’t enjoy reading as much.

I have a hard time finding people with similar habits.

Most of my friends work on tech industry and is aware of benefits.
