That's is easy (just spend 4 months memorizing algorithms and hack the tech interview). The problem is to keep working on that kind of job for 10 years (after a few months they would realise that the only reason you passed the tech interview is because you memorized algorithms... then you would get FIREd).

How many golf balls can you fit into a Boeing 747?

And somehow, this question is related to engineering world class software systems. I’m still trying to figure out how.

LOL. Not a problem. If only you could’ve predicted the future, 20 years ago, that Netflix would’ve paid their software engineers $350,000 a year.

Back then, Netflix was just some silly DVD rental business.

Then, you could’ve studied and did whatever you could to land such a job with them.
