I would add an emulator to the list.I've always struggled to figure out how these are built from scratch.
A long time ago I wanted to code a neogeo emulator but gave up before I even started, I didn't have a clue where to begin.
I am amazed at anyone that can code an emulator from scratch.

Its a given that if you are trying to get into faang you are going to need to spend a considerable amount of time trying to game the interview process by doing as many leetcode problems and mock interviews as you can before the interview. And then still there is no guarantee, even if you ace all rounds and pass all the coding challenges.

Can you share some tips on how you achieved this? What did you do if you got stuck on a question you just couldn't solve? Did you look at the answer and memorized it? How many questions did you solve? Were they mostly mediums or hards? What about system design, any specific resources you used?.
I keep coming back to leetcode every few months but I always get stuck on mediums so I'd appreciate any tips you can share!.

As an average/below average engineer with 15 yoe who wouldn't pass SV-style interviews no matter how many leetcode problems I solve, I've only had to use algorithms a handful of times in my career.
One of the most memorable was when I had to build a graph from sql statements, parse the sql statements, determine the dependencies between the sql statements by traversing the syntax tree and ordering the graph based on the dependencies so sql statements on each level could be evaluated in parallel.
It was one of the most fun and interesting projects I've ever worked on, it took me a few days to come up with a Java implementation and after a few bugs I rewrote it in Scala. I think I ended up with some kind of DFS algorithm if I recall, I might give it a shot at implementing it from memory and putting it on github.

I would be Interested in getting some mentorship...I have also started to learn rust and kubernetes plus doing leetcode on the side, I also want to contribute to OS projects and have some more activity on github... I am getting a bit overwhelmed and my motivation is dwindling so I think a mentor might help. How can I contact you?
Re:Ballista: Distributed Compute with Rust, Apache Arrow, and Kubernetes
on Wednesday July 17, 2019 @09:28AM (#20459191)
Are you looking for contributors? I don't have any rust, arrow or k8s experience but been looking to learn all 3, I've also been looking to contribute to os projects so I'm happy to pick up any low hanging fruits if you are interested.
I do have a few years of experience with Spark and hadoop if that's worth anything.
