This is a great point. Reading code is such an important skill and how most of an engineers time will be spent. The ability to reason about code that was written by someone else (including your past self) and update/expand it in a clean/maintainable way is a better indicator of success IMO then writing a little chunk of code that solves a brain teaser.
Read code, explain what it does and discuss how you would expand it to add additional functionality or fix a bug. I feel that would be a better approach than most of the current leetcode style interviews.
In the Netherlands it was about €75, filled most of the paperwork out online although we did have to go in to the KVK (Chamber of Commerce) to complete the process.
Always happy to see more new Swift projects pop up, especially on the server side. It's great watching the language evolve and continue to add more powerful features.
As a long time baseball fan, the "punishment" is a joke. This is one of the worst cheating scandals in baseball history and Rob Manfred (Commissioner of MLB) basically gave a slap on the wrist. Every team/player in the league would be willing to trade this "punishment" for a World Series title.
Always love a good coffee science deep dive! Pour over is my brew method of choice (which this article focuses on) and it was really interesting learning more about the math (Darcy's Law) behind what affects flow rate/brew time. Worth a read!
It's exciting to watch swift continue to evolve. Looks like property wrappers are used extensively throughout SwiftUI for @State and @Binding. This talk on "Data Flow Through SwiftUI"[0] is a really great one as well and they touch more on property wrappers.
Thanks for linking this, it was an interesting read. One thing that stood out to me was a paragraph towards the bottom of the article:
> "Studies on vegetarians who eat diets high in plant foods containing anti-nutrients do not generally show deficiencies in iron and zinc, so the body may be adapting to the presence of anti-nutrients by increasing the absorption of these minerals in the gut. [3]"
I do wonder how that differs with individuals on a vegan diet who don't eat any animal products.
