Thank you, I was wondering where I knew this guy from: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCSUmwP02T8

I've interviewed at Google, and their phone screening questions are exactly that, some basic coding exercise. E.g. how would you serialize a binary tree, or find the largest substring in lexicographical order.

Amazing how many people took the bait (myself included). Thanks for the link!
Related-ish: someone linked to this fantastic read [1] today in some HN thread, and after going through it in awe, I come across the guy's Wikipedia page [2]. Yikes!

Re:Ask HN: Pick startups for YC to fund on Wednesday April 06, 2016 @03:27PM (#11441196)
Some sort of support for people working on building "lifestyle businesses" as side projects would be fantastic. Not all of us have megalomaniac dreams of running the next AirBnb. Question: would YC Fellowship be a good fit for that?

He's a very good writer. I realised when looking him up on Twitter that he's also the one behind the Silicon Valley scripts. https://twitter.com/blakeross

I was going to recommend the same. If you have a small number of servers and services, Rancher is the perfect solution.
