Keep studying. I hope you have more success in the future.
Re:Don’t Get Attached, It’s Just Luck. My Interviewing Advice and Tips

But why is this pleasantry about "luck" and not something else? You don't hear employers say "keep studying" or "we wish you a good effort" or "we hope you build cool stuff".
Isn't the employer referring to luck an admission from the employer that interviewing has a lot to do with luck?

Why do rejection emails say "good luck" at the end?

It's happening for the operating system. Will it happen for the programming language?

Could one write a state machine running the code? VMs do.

What if it can't harm your data, or data passing through your system?
What if it can't harm anything.

What if, somehow, there was a guarantee that the code can't harm your machine -- would you use it then?
This isn't a joke.

One gains not needing to learn another language. I know C, I don't know Verilog or VHDL. I know how to debug C, I don't know how to debug Verilog.
If I can write a working C program, why can't I make working hardware?

Is it impossible to do hardware development in C and automatically convert C to Verilog? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_to_HDL
What does one lose if they do this? Why isn't this conversion more common?

Are you growing faster than 5% per week? If you are, that'd be fast.

I wonder if it were simpler for Uber to use RethinkDB instead of this complicated scheme they set up.

In the future please remove the words "Berlin, New York, Paris, LA" from your post. They conflict with search for positions in specific cities.
Since the position is in London, please only use London in the post.

Can you explain what you mean by "really enforceable"? Does it mean that they often don't get enforced, but are legally binding -- or does it mean they're illegal?
If they're legally binding then that's still bad.

This is a really good question. It seems a non-disparagement clause waives one's right to the first amendment.

Is this right?
