In the early days, Quora has exceptionally high quality content. I enjoyed the experts writing answers on Quora platform. It was not only just gaining some random knowledge, but it was also entertaining reading from them. I read pretty much every night before sleep during that time.

Then it gradually degrades (maybe the pressure of putting ads on to make money), the quality has gone downhill dramatically. It's been a few years, I have no longer considered answers from Quora as worthy.

I think there're some good and positive reasons including:

1. If I'm going for a full stack interview soon, having a quick look/update would provide a good refresh before digging in deeper.

2. Someone wants to compare between different aspects/features of different languages, some quick learning would definitely provide a good sense of differences.

Most jobs forces people to do things as quickly as possible, and that results in trying to learn things quickly. I see nothing wrong as this is being part of adapting to the environment.

Not sure why this is offended, but I actually think he may have some chances failing the interview if he goes through. I do think he's definitely capable and knowledgeable of doing a principal/fellow engineer job.

I went through a few interviews myself recently and I got very puzzled with the interview process. It's quite brutal. And I just went through a 5 technical rounds after passing the first 2 rounds (1 technical and 1 behavioral) for a senior position. The 5 rounds include: architecture design, model/object algo design, refactoring/optimization, build a complete CRUD api with tests. I know how to build these things and I would take time to do it, but I couldn't do it with the very fast speed that I was limited to during the interview.

I like this site, it helps me a lot with pronunciation especially someone like me that doesn't go on the TV or watch many videos.

Since the day knowing this site, I found out that I had pronounced many words incorrectly in the past.

A few things people have pointed out, we have to go through sorting out the accents, multiple pronunciations for the same word, etc... But this is very good for the basic pronunciation search.
