You're forgetting they all read all the way through cracking the code interview, the most difficult math book in history.

[briansteffens]

Coding interview books: how to use bit fields to save a marginal amount of memory while making your algorithm work only with values of n <= 64.

That's both funny and true. ValueClick hired some celebrity nerds to write a new ad platform, and I hear it supported exactly 32 advertisers. :)

Which only says that they are good at solving artificial puzzles, but nothing about whether they are good developers or generally intelligent.

> the most difficult math book in history

It is not a math book rather more of a puzzle book. On a side note - it's full of mistakes (your experience may vary though)

If you like to see difficult math then please try to apply for a self-driving car engineer's job.

whoosh

Pretty sure the prize for 'most difficult math book in history' goes to Dummit and Foote's ponderous tome, Abstract Algebra.

If you are suggesting deep learning involves difficult math then I have just had a stroke

Besides, cracking the code interview is definitely the hardest. Just check out the amazon reviews

i like your sarcasm :D.
