> Asking this question will show an eye for detail and a solid foundation in computer science. My friend, you've clearly got the wrong book. I think there might be some confusion here. That exact sentence (as you've written it) doesn’t appear in our book—I just double-checked the digital version. None of the phrases “eye for detail,” “solid foundation in computer science,” or “asking this question” show up, either individually or together in our entire book. If you're saying it is in the original Cracking the Coding Interview... ok? The book is a decade out of date at this point, and the originally linked post makes it clear that this book is very different from that one. |

This thread is speaking of the original book.
> The book is a decade out of date at this point,
Companies continue to tell applicants to get the original book.
And the original book pretty much defined the current widespread techbro hiring idiocracy.
If the new book turns out to be a reversal, and begins with a passionate apology for earlier harm, and is made freely available (rather than double-dipping), and the original author goes on speaking tours (on their own dime) to recant to anyone who will listen, that would be a good start.
